Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

Carl Jung

Dreams grow if you grow.

Zig Ziglar

There’s a lot of people that have great ideas and dreams and whatnot, but unless you’re willing to work really, really hard, and work for what you want, it’s never going to happen.

Kris Jenner

We want an Afghanistan that is shaped by the dreams of the great Afghan people, not by irrational fears and overreaching ambitions of others.

Narendra Modi

Being a doctor, lawyer in war-torn countries isn’t easy when the infrastructure isn’t there. The money, the food and education is not always accessible to achieve those dreams.

Brandon Stanton

This is the city of dreamers and time and again it’s the place where the greatest dream of all, the American dream, has been tested and has triumphed.

Michael Bloomberg

I had my freedom, and I had my comfortable life, but I couldn’t accept the fact that the politicians were making it increasingly difficult for my kids and millions of others to achieve their dreams as I had achieved mine. So, in 2012, I ran for president.

Gary Johnson

Common sense tells us that the things of the earth exist only a little, and that true reality is only in dreams.

Charles Baudelaire

Within months after reading the novel ‘The Hunger Games,’ I went from telling my mom that I could see myself as this character to actually getting the role. My mother reminds me that if I could manifest such an important role just because I wanted it so much, all of my dreams are possible.

Amandla Stenberg

Africa is not fulfilling people’s hopes and aspirations. African leaders have not had an agenda that included governing Africa so that people would find their careers, their life, dreams and visions fulfilled here.

Ama Ata Aidoo

I know it sounds corny, but when you follow your dreams, it happens. And if it’s music, take it seriously.

Enrique Iglesias

And they were writing scripts where Christine had hit the glass ceiling. And I always thought Christine would never hit the glass ceiling. I thought her dreams would take her. Maybe her dreams wouldn’t take her where she wanted, but she still had her dreams.

Sharon Gless

I came to the United States in the early ’80s and was welcomed with open arms and given the opportunity to pursue my dreams. God has been very kind to us. My family and I are fortunate enough to be successful and we feel a tremendous responsibility and obligation to give back to our great country.

Naveen Jain

A man is a god in ruins. When men are innocent, life shall be longer, and shall pass into the immortal, as gently as we awake from dreams.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I might be writing what people expect me to write, writing from that place where I might be ruled by economic considerations. To overcome that, I started working with my dreams, because I’m not so censored when I use dream material.

Kathy Acker

I never had any big dreams about doing something on a huge scale.

Alison Krauss

I plan to see St. Louis as a global competitor. As an international trade hub, as an incubator of new companies, as a place of culture and the arts, as a magnet for immigrants, for entrepreneurs, for animal lovers, and for gays, as a city of parks and trails, and as the sort of place that figures in young people’s dreams.

Francis G. Slay

With Shakespeare and poetry, a new world was born. New dreams, new desires, a self consciousness was born. I desired to know to know myself in terms of the new standards set by these books.

Peter Abrahams

I am a person who has many dreams. But as soon as I accomplish one, I move on to the next. That’s my fatal, absurd nature.

Shakira

Drawing the desperate and the adrift, Los Angeles has long been the dumping ground of dreams both real and cinematic.

Steve Erickson

I think when you move past your fear and you go after your dreams wholeheartedly, you become free. Know what I’m saying? Move past the fear.

LL Cool J

After having done this whole slew of press for ‘Big Love’, now I’ll have anxiety dreams for like a week and a half about all the stupid things I said. I can’t even imagine being in front of the cameras all the time. I had a weird dream the other night that I was on ‘Jersey Shore.’

Chloe Sevigny

If I had an extra 20 or 50 years physically, I could have been the dancer of my dreams. But I never became that dancer.

Erik Bruhn

I understand it’s my role to realize people’s dreams. I’m O.K. with that so long as my songs are my own. No one can take my songs away from me.

Ayumi Hamasaki

My career’s consisted of all of those things that you hope would one day lead to being a series regular, and then your dreams grow from there. My career has been very steady, and I’ve been blessed in that I’ve been given everything that I can handle, at the right time.

Kimberly Quinn

Our theme for this year’s festivities, Dreams and Challenges of Asian Pacific Americans, speaks to the many generations of Asian Pacific Americans who worked hard to overcome economic hardship, racism and other barriers in their pursuit of the American dream.

Lucille Roybal-Allard

‘Portlandia’ is the most fun show. When I get a breakdown of what the arc of the story is going to be, I could never in my wildest dreams anticipate the direction.

Kyle MacLachlan

After high school, I was going to move out to L.A. and try to pursue my dreams of acting. My parents said, ‘That’s fine. We support you, but you have to go to school,’ which was fine because I’m a studious person anyway; I enjoy it.

Josie Loren

The dreams which reveal the supernatural are promises and messages that God sends us directly: they are nothing but His angels, His ministering spirits, who usually appear to us when we are in a great predicament.

Paracelsus

One of my dreams was to change the way women of color were seen on television.

Loni Love

I have those dreams that you can’t put into words.

Harry Connick, Jr.

My life has been a continuous fulfillment of dreams. It appears that everything I saw and did has a new, and perhaps, more significant meaning, every time I see it. The earth is good. It is a privilege to live thereon.

Liberty Hyde Bailey

Men act out like they’re horrified by marriage, but when they find the woman of their dreams, they love it.

Rachel Hunter

I had dreams of conehead aliens when I was little. Before ‘Saturday Night Live’ did it. And then they came out with them, and I went on to be a glorified extra in the movie. When everyone else was laughing, I was scared.

Parker Posey

So to all Americans, in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, and from ocean to ocean, hear these words: You will never be ignored again. Your voice, your hopes, and your dreams will define our American destiny. And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.

Donald Trump

Follow your dreams. Just make sure to have fun too.

Chris Brown

Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?

Leonardo da Vinci

God gave us dreams, but he gave us kids to make all those dreams worthwhile. And when I look at all my kids, I say everything that I’ve ever went through in my life was worthwhile.

Tracy Morgan

I’ve got a lot of dreams I want to achieve, and I hope someone can cheer me on as I’ll cheer them on in their dreams.

Hunter Hayes

I don’t have kids, but I know that you want them to follow their dreams, while at the same time, you don’t want them to be sitting around, hoping that dream is just going to come. I’m sure that’s hard to tell your kids.

Kaley Cuoco

Many entrepreneurs think that cash is the ultimate solution to all of their problems: the one thing standing between them and their dreams.

Jon Oringer

It seems like in the beginning of my flight, the space dreams were rare. And now, almost 150 days into it, the Earth dreams are more of the rare ones.

Scott Kelly

Although every writer dreams of getting it right on the first pass, very few succeed.

Richard Rhodes

I was so lucky to have parents who supported me, 100%, with whatever I was doing, both financially and emotionally. Having that they made my life so much easier. Instead of becoming a bartender and trying to survive while trying to pursue your dreams, I didn’t have to worry about that aspect. I could just pursue my dreams.

Cam Gigandet

Dreams are the touchstones of our character.

Henry David Thoreau

I love to work with the younger kids who are trying to live out their dreams, if in fact that’s what they plan on doing after college to take the next step. A very select few have that opportunity so when you do have the opportunity you know, those guys take advantage of it.

Roger Clemens

I like to keep the median age in my lab low because they will indulge me in my dreams. They don’t yet think things are impossible.

George M. Church

A visionary is someone who can see the future, or thinks he sees the future. In my case, I use it and it comes out right. That doesn’t come from daydreams or dreams, but it comes from knowing the market and knowing the world and knowing people really well and knowing where they’re going to be tomorrow.

Leonard Lauder

I had dreams of catching the ball for the final out in the World Series and being mobbed by my teammates. Well, I guess all my dreams didn’t come true.

Robin Yount

A heart without dreams is like a bird without feathers.

Suzy Kassem

When violence becomes imbedded in a region, then this affects everything. It affects your dreams, your fantasies and relationships, and your religion becomes violent, too.

Ours is the job of interpreting the Constitution. And that document isn’t some inkblot on which litigants may project their hopes and dreams.

Neil Gorsuch

I always feel like it’s two key ingredients when it comes to following your dreams, making something happen that the average person deems difficult. If you truly believe it, that’s step one. Step two, is, you know, the hard work that goes along with it.

J. Cole

I have very vivid dreams – almost always action-adventure. I’m often on the run. I’ve always had dreams. When I was little, I’d go to sleep with my head on my hands, which were in fists like I was looking through a camera. I felt like sleep was the movies – just drifting off to the movies.

Sarah Silverman

Hollywood is the dream factory, and no one dreams about older women.

Amy Heckerling

But we can hold our spirits and our bodies so pure and high, we may cherish such thoughts and such ideals, and dream such dreams of lofty purpose, that we can determine and know what manner of men we will be, whenever and wherever the hour strikes and calls to noble action.

Joshua Chamberlain

One of the most persistent yet elusive dreams of the Modern Movement in architecture has been prefabrication: industrially made structures that can be assembled at a building site.

Martin Filler

My mother was always working for a job, so I guess I was always trained that I should have multiple jobs, multiple aspirations. And I remember she had multiple aspirations, always hearing about her dreams and things she did in the past and things she wanted to do.

Sean Combs

Nothing happens unless first we dream.

Carl Sandburg

Dreams seem to have a will of their own.

Henry Reed

I stayed true to my dreams and, eventually, they came true.

Kevin Hart

I thin many people’s deviant behavior starts with dreams because dreams are so non-linear… as if there’s an assumption that everything has to be linear or has to be plotted.

Robyn Hitchcock

You know, one of my biggest dreams in life is to play a Disney princess.

Ginnifer Goodwin

The Book of Revelation is the strangest book in the Bible, and the most controversial. Instead of stories and moral teaching, it offers only visions – dreams and nightmares, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, earthquakes, plagues and war.

Elaine Pagels

What I would say to young entrepreneurs is there’s so many moments in your life where you have these dreams, and people are trying to protect you, and they say, perhaps, friends, family, parents sometimes, they don’t agree with it, they think, ‘This is just too high of a hurdle.’ And I don’t agree with that.

Howard Schultz

I believe dreams represent the purest form of fantasy we unleash through our subconscious. They represent the truest freedom we can experience. Totally unrepressed and totally creative.

Miguel

So much of Sue Sylvester, the angry woman, came from that part of my life, wanting to crush other people’s dreams and judging others so harshly, which is always just a way of deflecting your own self-judgment.

Jane Lynch

It’s weird to say, but every time I look at my daughter and I see this little living breathing thing that came from me, that represents all of the hopes and dreams that I would want for her, I see a miracle.

Josh Gad

Stories come to me in mysterious ways, more like dreams than reasoned creations.

Anthony Browne

The minute you feel secure about yourself and own the fact your dreams are honest true, other things fix themselves.

Shantel VanSanten

You can be out of slavery and have the right to vote, but unless you have access to capital, industry and technology, you can’t fulfill your dreams.

Jesse Jackson

I think that every artist dreams of renewing the forms which came before, but I think very few can be considered to have achieved that. We are all dwarves standing upon the shoulders of the giants who preceded us, and I think we must never forget that. After all, even iconoclasts only exist with respect to that which they destroy.

Peter Greenaway

The Hispanic community values entrepreneurship and family-owned businesses, and we deserve a leader in Washington who is dedicated to creating an environment where our values, our goals and our dreams of prosperity can become reality.

Mario Diaz-Balart

To be able to help a 13-year-old kid from the Bronx follow her dreams just by letting her know she’s not forgotten in this crazy world – that’s why I got involved with Frum Tha Ground Up.

Alicia Keys

All the characters in my books are imagined, but all have a bit of who I am in them – much like the characters in your dreams are all formed by who you are.

Alice Hoffman

I say to my colleagues never confine your best work, your hopes, your dreams, the aspiration of the American people to what will be signed by George W. Bush because that is too limiting a factor.

Nancy Pelosi

Men are the dreams of a shadow.

Pindar

When the legends die, the dreams end; there is no more greatness.

Tecumseh

I married the man of my dreams in 1998.

Cindy Margolis

Dreams are the expression of the unconscious while we are asleep.

Nancy Friday

As I’ve grown – dare I say it – older, I had hopes of indulging my dreams of being a sailor.

Jimmy Webb

Both dreams and neurotic dream-states have as their function the avoidance of displeasure, but the dream-states also serve to provide a positive pleasure gain.

Karl Abraham

For American filmmakers, the Oscars is like a mystic thing. For me, it was being in a mirror of my dreams when I was dreaming of Hollywood when I was an adolescent.

Bernardo Bertolucci

Though we may have desires or bold goals, for whatever reason, most of us don’t think we can achieve something beyond what we’re qualified to achieve. Why, I ask, do we let reality interfere with our dreams?

Simon Sinek

There is no better gift a society can give children than the opportunity to grow up safe and free – the chance to pursue whatever dreams they may have.

John Roberts

For most of my films, I’ve had to go out and start shooting before I could get the rest of the funding. That was the case with ‘Hoop Dreams,’ ‘Stevie’ and ‘The Interrupters:’ We started them quietly out of Kartemquin Films, only really going to funders once we had something to show and a firm idea of what the film might be.

Steve James

In a couple, sometimes, one or both people have to give up their personal life, dreams and ambitions for the good of the family.

Monica Bellucci

When your dreams include service to others – accomplishing something that contributes to others – it also accelerates the accomplishment of that goal. People want to be part of something that contributes and makes a difference.

Jack Canfield

You must recognize, embrace, and be honest about what is real for you today and allow that understanding to inform the choices you make. Only then will you be able to build the future of your dreams.

Suze Orman

Through hard work, perseverance and a faith in God, you can live your dreams.

Ben Carson

Fairy tales read before bed tend to make me dream. They’re all quite violent stories, as are my dreams.

Glen Duncan

Before dance came into my life, I don’t really remember having any major goals or dreams of wanting to be anything.

Misty Copeland

Right now, I have some big dreams. But at the same time, if I get annoyed and harassed by the media, I’ll just quit. I don’t care. We’re set for life. I have quite a temper.

Anna Benson

In my wildest dreams I never thought – well, I never thought I’d work.

Steve Carell

I put a lot of faith in dreams. I know that big movie roles and opportunities are going to happen.

Krista Allen

In dreams, anything can be anything, and everybody can do. We can fly, we can turn upside down, we can transform into anything.

Twyla Tharp

I’ve got big, big dreams for the future.

Margot Robbie

I’ve always said that one night, I’m going to find myself in some field somewhere, I’m standing on grass, and it’s raining, and I’m with the person I love, and I know I’m at the very point I’ve been dreaming of getting to.

Drew Barrymore

Dreams are real as long as they last. Can we say more of life?

Havelock Ellis

Stability can be a good thing, but it can also lead to apathy. I don’t want to set that example for my children. I want them to believe in their dreams and to go after them. You do that by example.

Michael Easton

I’m very ambitious. I live in reality but I have dreams I want to fulfill – I want to be a director, and I’ve already started my own production company. But I also have a measure of success that I keep to myself. It’s something very personal to me.

Alex Pettyfer

‘The Cut’ is going to give someone the opportunity of a lifetime and help that person achieve his or her dreams.

Tommy Hilfiger

Dreams can be like charades in which we act out words rather than see or speak them.

Jane Roberts

Our dreams are made of real things, like a shoebox full of photographs.

Jack Johnson

There is not one New York but thousands – mixed-up conurbations and microclimates with their own internal logics and charms, dreams and juxtapositions, faces and tongues.

Karan Mahajan

I can’t sing but I can understand wanting to keep a balance, trying to pursue dreams, while creating a stable environment for my children.

Gabrielle Reece

It is an everlasting desire to make my dreams come true. And it’s getting to the point now where it’s like, come on I want my dreams to come true so that I can get on with the rest of my life. Sometimes I think about the rest of my life when I’m done.

Picabo Street

I am quite a dreamer. I think we all are dreamers. We all don’t like to live a practical life all the time. There is a thin line between our hopes and dreams.

Rani Mukerji

Not all lucid dreams are useful but they all have a sense of wonder about them. If you must sleep through a third of your life, why should you sleep through your dreams, too?

Stephen LaBerge

Las Vegas is a very strange place. It’s a place of broken dreams.

Concha Buika

When I did musicals in London a number of years ago, I was in a workshop scenario for a year or more with ‘Bombay Dreams.’

Darell Hammond

Publishing can be tough. It has the ability to kill dreams.

Michael A. Stackpole

I was a silent actress: a body. I belonged to dreams – to those who can’t be broken.

Sylvia Kristel

Follow your dreams. If you have a goal, and you want to achieve it, then work hard and do everything you can to get there, and one day it will come true.

Lindsey Vonn

Be a dreamer. If you don’t know how to dream, you’re dead.

Jim Valvano

I couldn’t help but to think back to my classmates at Thomas Jefferson High School in San Antonio. They had the same talent, the same brains, the same dreams as the folks we sat with at Stanford and Harvard. I realized the difference wasn’t one of intelligence or drive. The difference was opportunity.

Julian Castro

I miss my kids, and they miss me. It’s very difficult, but I have to do it for my country and fulfill my dreams coming to the 2012 London Olympics.

Mary Kom

Don’t be afraid of your dreams.

Jacques Parizeau

I just got tired of waiting for things to happen through other people when so many other people are taking chances on following their dreams.

Christina Milian

The only book by a modern president that bears serious comparison with Obama’s ‘Dreams From My Father’ is Jimmy Carter’s short campaign autobiography, ‘Why Not the Best?,’ published in 1975.

Jonathan Raban

As a kid, this is what I wanted my life to be. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever dare to dream that it would be this.

Smokey Robinson

A true architect is not an artist but an optimistic realist. They take a diverse number of stakeholders, extract needs, concerns, and dreams, then create a beautiful yet tangible solution that is loved by the users and the community at large. We create vessels in which life happens.

Cameron Sinclair

I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I’m awake, you know?

Ernest Hemingway

I always thought I would be a teacher. And I think I actually lived up to my initial dreams, because what I do now is teach millions and millions of people many different kinds of things.

Martha Stewart

Only the dreamer shall understand realities, though in truth his dreaming must be not out of proportion to his waking.

We need time to defuse, to contemplate. Just as in sleep our brains relax and give us dreams, so at some time in the day we need to disconnect, reconnect, and look around us.

Laurie Colwin

In Americana, the facts and the dreams seem to be all the same to me.

Robbie Robertson

The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.

Sigmund Freud

Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them.

John Updike

Dreaming men are haunted men.

Stephen Vincent Benet

It seemed to me that NASA, especially Goddard, was the place where I could carry out the dreams that I had, which were to push forward an experiment that would measure the big bang radiation better than anyone had ever tried before. Therefore, it seemed like the perfect place to go.

John C. Mather

I used to have a lot of recurring dreams about Captain Hook when I was a little kid, which I remember very vividly. But I think I just really liked Peter Pan a lot, and ‘Hook’ was my favorite movie.

Cristin Milioti

For me, the sketching of dresses was about fantasy and dreams. In my little room at home, I felt that I was somewhere else. In Paris, for instance.

Alber Elbaz

Giving children a fair chance to achieve their dreams and reach their potential is everyone’s responsibility.

Randi Weingarten

A horse is the projection of peoples’ dreams about themselves – strong, powerful, beautiful – and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence.

Pam Brown

Beware of advice about successful people and their methods. For starters, no two situations are alike. Your dreams of creating a dry-cleaning empire won’t be helped by knowing that Thomas Edison liked to take naps.

I’d been in Sacramento a day and already noticed the pervasiveness of its homeless problem. The city seemed like California without the masks or pretense: a place where dreams were occasionally made but mostly torn apart.

Tom Bissell

Night is the mother of counsels.

George Herbert

Today, among little girls especially, princesses and the romanticised ideal they represent – finding the man of your dreams – have a limited shelf life.

John Lasseter

Never in my wildest dreams did I entertain the idea that I would become a fashion designer.

Giorgio Armani

I grew up with not a lot of money and I definitely shopped at Goodwill. But even in my most unfortunate state, I was really blessed compared to a lot of the rest of the world. I had a really great chance to follow my dreams and have them actually come true.

AnnaLynne McCord

It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.

Virginia Woolf

I love working with kids, talking with them and listening to them. I always encourage kids to reach beyond their dreams. Don’t try to be like me. Be better than me.

Florence Griffith Joyner

I’m living out my dreams and I love what I do.

Ashley Tisdale

Sometimes just being on a beach with my loved ones is all the adventure I need. I am a happy camper and continue to be a citizen of the world. I have yet to discover other cultures, other peoples’ dreams and treasures. I will always be a traveler who is discovering beautiful Gaia.

Guy Laliberte

God doesn’t want us to merely sit around dreaming about things we can do and be. That’s a good place to start, but a poor place to stop. God wants us to turn our dreams into action.

Victoria Osteen

I’ve accomplished a lot, but I still have more dreams that I want to achieve.

Joe Jonas

In my childhood, America was like a religion. Then, real-life Americans abruptly entered my life – in jeeps – and upset all my dreams.

Sergio Leone

No man’s brain is so dull, and no man’s eye so blind, that they cannot catch food for dreams.

Donald G. Mitchell

There are so many people who try so hard and have such big dreams, and it doesn’t happen for them.

Aileen Lee

It’s not too late, I can still live my dreams.

Diana Nyad

I never expected anyone to take care of me, but in my wildest dreams and juvenile yearnings, I wanted the house with the picket fence from June Allyson movies. I knew that was yearning like one yearns to fly.

Maya Angelou

It’s not like I had big dreams to go to California and become an actor. I loved doing my shows at school and community theater, and I probably would have settled in New York because it was closer. I was going to go to NYU.

Christine Taylor

A man becomes what he dreams. And I dreamed of being in the movies. I was brought up on Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, Warren Beatty, and Cary Grant.

Pierce Brosnan

I was working at the store on the Sony studios in Culver City. And I was literally holding a shirt when they came in and told me I’d got the part! It just shows dreams do come true.

Derek Luke

Talking about food is like talking about your dreams. Everyone has something to say. We all have to eat, it’s just what we eat which differs. Some people eat for fuel and I feel bad for them.

Gael Garcia Bernal

Sometimes, you follow your dreams. I say to the young people, ‘If you have a dream, chase it.’

Karl Malone

Let us make our future now, and let us make our dreams tomorrow’s reality.

Malala Yousafzai

I tell kids to have dreams, have goals, and believe in them because if you have any doubt, worry or fear, it will choke the life out of your dreams and goals.

Torii Hunter

One of the most adventurous things left us is to go to bed. For no one can lay a hand on our dreams.

E. V. Lucas

I had to overcome challenge after challenge in order to take my life from nothing to living my dreams.

Curtis Jackson

It has been my observation that parents kill more dreams than anybody.

Spike Lee

I never remember my dreams.

Freddie Stroma

We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.

Jesse Owens

I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would have my very own school – no way. And I had no idea I’d be coaching girls. It’s wild.

Liang Chow

Flying dreams mean that you’re doing the right thing with your life.

Douglas Coupland

In dreams begins responsibility.

William Butler Yeats

I don’t use drugs, my dreams are frightening enough.

M. C. Escher

Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth.

Jean-Paul Sartre

Some people have vivid imagination, some not so vivid, but everybody has vivid dreams.

Stephen LaBerge

I came at age in the ’60s, and initially my hopes and dreams were invested in politics and the movements of the time – the anti-war movement, the civil rights movement. I worked on Bobby Kennedy’s campaign for president as a teenager in California and the night he was killed.

David Talbot

To be a footballer was just a dream, and I don’t believe in dreams. I only deal in what is real. To be honest, I’ve never thought about what I could get out of football or where it would take me. I just wanted to play. I’m the same now.

Thierry Henry

We all have those dreams we’ve never let go of. But believe it or not, sometimes a job that we’re not that keen on can help us achieve those dreams or goals.

John Rampton

The most pitiful among men is he who turns his dreams into silver and gold.

Khalil Gibran

Field of Dreams is the only movie – and I saw it in the theater – on an afternoon when I was on location somewhere, and there were like 12 people in the theater. I was just so devastated; I couldn’t get out of my seat. And I sat and watched it a second time.

Paul Reiser

You can’t take anything personally in this business. Follow your dreams, but there is a lot of criticism. You have to brush it off. Everybody is looking for something different.

Kendall Jenner

Lose your dreams and you might lose your mind.

Mick Jagger

I think basically becoming famous has taken the place of going to Heaven in modern society, hasn’t it? That’s the place where your dreams will come true. It’s an act of faith now; they think that’s going to sort things out.

Jarvis Cocker

But are not the dreams of poets and the tales of travellers notoriously false?

H. P. Lovecraft

I have dreams that I will reach balance in my life, and, at forty-one, I have none.

Andrew Breitbart

My dream of dreams is to write Broadway musicals. All of this Twitter and TV writing is just a day job.

Megan Amram

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.

Langston Hughes

I had dreams about working for a big foreign company.

Roustam Tariko

To me, what I love about the draft is; first, you see the young men who are realizing their dreams that they’ve worked so hard for. That’s a pretty cool thing. You saw the emotion from some of these guys the other day. And then, the second thing is this total sense of hope and optimism. And, I think that’s great for everybody.

Roger Goodell

For anyone aspiring to be anything, I would like them to realise dreams require work. So work big time.

Lilly Singh

Ideas are all around you – everything gives you ideas. But the real source is the part of your brain that dreams.

Bruce Coville

We used to talk about wanting to get some money, but that’s when hip-hop was based on your dreams and your fantasy. The whole thing now is the dreams and fantasies were achieved, and you don’t want to make it the focal point. You can’t keep beating that dead horse.

Sean Combs

America allows us to be able to dream, then gives us the ability to achieve those dreams.

Rick Mears

Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.

Suzy Kassem

My dreams do not end with playing Major League Baseball.

Derek Jeter

Divorce is a time of change. It really rocks a foundation of most people’s lives. When we have our heart broken or our dreams taken away from us, it is a time of growth and change.

Debbie Ford

I always make my dreams into goals.

DJ Khaled

My new life goes beyond my dreams because my dream was Formula One and I achieved it. I’m a driver, I feel like a driver. I have won this race because I am alive.

Maria de Villota

I feel more influenced in my own work by dreams than I do by other writers’ works in a way. Or by popular culture, movies – what else is there to write about than love and loss?

Alice Hoffman

In our dreams we are always young.

Sarah Louise Delany

I would encourage you to set really high goals. Set goals that, when you set them, you think they’re impossible. But then every day you can work towards them, and anything is possible, so keep working hard and follow your dreams.

Katie Ledecky

Checkout our famous & popular quotes collection here:

Age Quotes: A nice collection of age quotes and sayings to share among other people, who are enjoying their youth ness or getting older as time passes away.

The human imagination… has great difficulty in living strictly within the confines of a materialist practice or philosophy. It dreams, like a dog in its basket, of hares in the open.

John Berger

Those of us who submitted or surrendered our ideas and dreams and identities to the ‘leaders’ must take back our rights, our identities, our responsibilities.

Maya Angelou

I do not have bad days. I don’t wake up in the morning and think that I’m going to get AIDS. I don’t dream bad dreams about it. If I did, I’d be giving in to the negativity.

Magic Johnson

Dream and give yourself permission to envision a You that you choose to be.

Joy Page

I’m fortunate enough to be living my dreams and a lot of other peoples’ dreams.

Wale

It is all nonsense, to be sure; and so much the greater nonsense inasmuch as the true interpretation of many dreams – not by any means of all dreams – moves, it may be said, in the opposite direction to the method of psycho-analysis.

Arthur Machen

Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

Khalil Gibran

God’s gifts put man’s best dreams to shame.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

My work is to reach people with ideas, hopes, dreams, encouragement, insight, and revelation. That’s what an actor wants to do.

John Astin

Kids need a happy household. They need to be loved and supported in their dreams. And I don’t think you can make your kids’ dreams your own. They need you to support them in their dreams.

Billy Crystal

Living in dreams of yesterday, we find ourselves still dreaming of impossible future conquests.

Charles Lindbergh

Barack Obama knows that to create an economy built to last, we need to focus on middle-class families. Families who stay up on Sunday nights pacing the floor, like my dad did, while their children, tucked in bed, dream big dreams. Families who aren’t sure what Monday morning will bring, but who believe our nation’s best days are still ahead.

Chuck Schumer

Beautiful dreams – if the world were more beautiful they would come true – But the world is relentless & cruel – people are – they must be, I suppose, or they could not live.

Alfred Stieglitz

The interpretation of dreams is a great art.

Paracelsus

When I was young, I was an academically oriented guy like most academically oriented guys. I graduated in science, did an MBA. My dreams as a young boy were I wanted to be an industrialist, or I wanted to be a scientist.

Amish Tripathi

I’ve always been fascinated by memory and dreams because they are both completely our own. No one else has the same memories. No one has the same dreams.

Lois Lowry

It’s a really scary thing, having your dreams come true and seeing everything you ever wanted happening, getting the attention for it and then not knowing how to handle it properly.

Samaire Armstrong

Dream in a pragmatic way.

Aldous Huxley

I worshipped Berry Gordy for the creative dreams he had made come true.

Martha Reeves

The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dreams shall never die.

Edward Kennedy

I’ve always been interested in photographing traditions and customs – especially in America. The prom is an American tradition, a rite of passage that has always been one of the most important rituals of American youth. It is a day in our lives that we never forget – a day full of hopes and dreams for our future.

Mary Ellen Mark

In school, when I got into upper-level math, there would be times when I would wake up from a dream and have – not an answer, exactly, but a direction to pursue. My writing has always been like that. I wake up from dreams knowing which direction to go in.

I never – in my dreams, doing track in high school, I didn’t imagine it would turn out like this.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce

People ask how can a Jewish kid from the Bronx do preppy clothes? Does it have to do with class and money? It has to do with dreams.

Ralph Lauren

In opposition to this detachment, he finds an image of man which contains within itself man’s dreams, man’s illness, man’s redemption from the misery of poverty – poverty which can no longer be for him a sign of the acceptance of life.

Salvatore Quasimodo

Dreams sometimes foretell the future.

Mickey Hart

We all ran barefooted on the dusty roads in our past, but now the Emperor wears shoes, and it is our responsibility to ensure that the barefooted child and the doting mother are afforded a holistic environment to realise their dreams and ambitions.

Anthony Carmona

In Kenya, I met wonderful girls; girls who wanted to help their communities. I was with them in their school, listening to their dreams. They still have hope. They want to be doctor and teachers and engineers.

Malala Yousafzai

If there are dreams about a beautiful South Africa, there are also roads that lead to their goal. Two of these roads could be named Goodness and Forgiveness.

Nelson Mandela

Dreams can become a reality when we possess a vision that is characterized by the willingness to work hard, a desire for excellence, and a belief in our right and our responsiblity to be equal members of society.

Janet Jackson

With unemployment still abysmally high, the Obama economy is crushing Hispanics’ dreams for their children to live a better life.

Marco Rubio

‘Sweet Dreams’ is such a dark-sounding song, but it’s about not taking anything for granted; share yourself with others after you have first spent some time with yourself.

Angel Olsen

I’ve had dreams about tricks.

Shaun White

From my perspective, music allows me to escape from the world of what is happening right in front of me… to the world of my thoughts, my dreams, my hopes and ideas – for the world, for my own life, for the day, even for the moment.

Danielle de Niese

I’ll tell you this: You have to remember to chase and catch your dreams, because if you don’t, your imagination will live in empty spaces, and that’s nowhere land.

Acting is fantastic, but to be able to create a whole world on celluloid is amazing. It’s like taking your dreams straight from your head and projecting them onto a screen.

Amber Benson

I think L.A.’s terrific. You fly an hour and a half and you’re in the mountains in three feet of powder. I also think it’s a much better city if you’re working as an actor. If you’re not working and you don’t see your dreams coming true, there can be a lot of heartache.

Scott Patterson

You have all the reason in the world to achieve your grandest dreams. Imagination plus innovation equals realization.

Denis Waitley

Computers are magnificent tools for the realization of our dreams, but no machine can replace the human spark of spirit, compassion, love, and understanding.

Louis V. Gerstner, Jr.

I think the best part in going to the movies is you feel something and you relate whether it’s to family struggles or dimming your light for someone. I would say to never dim your light and to really, truly follow your dreams.

Tika Sumpter

Ocean is more ancient than the mountains, and freighted with the memories and the dreams of Time.

H. P. Lovecraft

Deep down, I’m a Texas girl looking for that big romance every girl dreams about. Biologically, I look forward to being a cornerstone of a family. I’ll be in my glory when I have a child on my knee.

Renee Zellweger

If your mom asks you to do the dishes, do not pull out your pirate attitude. But if someone tells you you’re not good enough, says your dreams are too lofty, or claims there is no room in showbiz for a dancing violinist – well then, by all means, pull out your eye patch, my friend, and take to the high seas.

Lindsey Stirling

The idea of being able to serve as an example, based upon how to process, how to think, how to realize our own dreams, we can pass that down to our children.

Stedman Graham

One of the dreams on my wish list is to spend more time in Thailand.

Kevin Kwan

I am consumed with the fear of failing. Reaching deep down and finding confidence has made all my dreams come true.

Arsenio Hall

I can’t remember any dreams in my life. There’s so much strange in real life that it often seems like a dream.

Tim Burton

I can never decide whether my dreams are the result of my thoughts, or my thoughts the result of my dreams.

D. H. Lawrence

Sometimes, the only realists are the dreamers.

Paul Wellstone

All men of action are dreamers.

James Huneker

We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they’re called memories. Some take us forward, they’re called dreams.

Jeremy Irons

Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.

Pope John XXIII

Dreams look real, but they’re in your mind, so you realize that the physical world is also a construction, which shows that the mind can affect reality in more ways than you can imagine.

Stephen LaBerge

I had some wonderful dreaming meetings. I can’t tell you specifically what they’ve been in the recent months. In the past they’ve been verbal kinds of messages that he needed to give me. Now they’re more dreams of his presence.

Judy Collins

When we see the face of a child, we think of the future. We think of their dreams about what they might become, and what they might accomplish.

Desmond Tutu

One of the things I’ve started doing lately is tracking my dreams. I feel like there’s a lot of information there and you can really bring those emotions to the situations that may feel mundane or familiar. That gives them new life and gives you a new relationship with it – if that makes any sort of sense.

Jennifer Carpenter

Strivers achieve what dreamers believe.

Usher

When Paul Allen and I started Microsoft over 30 years ago, we had big dreams about software. We had dreams about the impact it could have.

Bill Gates

There has been enough suffering in our country, there has been enough of children whose dreams die before they have a chance to grow and there has been enough of our elders who, having served their nation, are forced into indignity in their old age.

John Agyekum Kufuor

If you always think about your dreams or goals, work steadfastly towards them and continue to challenge yourself, you will definitely be able to realise those dreams or goals.

Tadashi Yanai

More dreams are realised and extinguished in Bombay than any other place in India.

Gregory David Roberts

When I was either 7 or 8 years old, I did a sketch every day of my teacher and what she wore. At the end of the year, I gave her the sketchbook. For me, the sketching of dresses was about fantasy and dreams.

Alber Elbaz

I’m somebody who gets a lot of inspiration from dreams.

M. Ward

Reverie is when ideas float in our mind without reflection or regard of the understanding.

John Locke

A daydream is an evasion.

Thomas Merton

Education is not a tool for development – individual, community and the nation. It is the foundation for our future. It is empowerment to make choices and emboldens the youth to chase their dreams.

Nita Ambani

You can’t break my spirit, it’s my dreams you take.

James Blunt

My fear is that I go up to the girl of my dreams and say ‘I’m sorry, but I’ve got to say hello to you,’ and she slides the stool back and gets up and walks away, saying, ‘Not for me, Bub. I don’t want anything to do with you.’

John Mayer

You white folks see UFOs in your dreams. You don’t hear about Martians in Harlem.

Paul Mooney

Worse than not realizing the dreams of your youth, would be to have been young and never dreamed at all.

Jean Genet

Do I feel any pressure as the most decorated Winter Olympian in American history? None at all. The only pressures that I know I face are those of how to pay it forward: How can I continually make a positive impact in people’s lives, help others achieve their dreams, create their own Olympic mindset, creating champions within themselves?

Apolo Ohno

Some people ask why people would go into a dark room to be scared. I say they are already scared, and they need to have that fear manipulated and massaged. I think of horror movies as the disturbed dreams of a society.

Wes Craven

We spend most of our lives cutting down our ambitions because the world has told us to think small. Dreams express what your soul is telling you, so as crazy as your dream might seem – even to you – I don’t care: You have to let that out.

Eleni Zaude Gabre-Madhin

In Nicaragua, liberty, equality and the rule of law were the stuff of dreams. But in Paris I discovered the value of those words.

Bianca Jagger

The London Games will be designed for the athletes and we will provide them with the very best venues and the very best conditions to pursue their sporting dreams in London.

Sebastian Coe

We need affordable space travel to inspire our youth, to let them know that they can experience their dreams, can set significant goals and be in a position to lead all of us to future progress in exploration, discovery and fun. Thanks to the X Prize for the inspiration.

Burt Rutan

Every kid in America dreams of playing in the big leagues and they don’t, just because. It’s not because they blew out their knee. It’s just because they didn’t make it.

Marc Blucas

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

Oscar Wilde

Have you ever wondered why young people take to music like fish to water? Maybe it’s because music is fun. Plan and simple. It opens up their minds to dream great dreams about where they can go and what they can do when they get older.

Isaac Hayes

Without peace, all other dreams vanish and are reduced to ashes.

Jawaharlal Nehru

After more than a decade as the editor of ‘Wired’ magazine, Chris Anderson started the company of his dreams – a robotics manufacturing company called 3D Robotics – to produce the autonomous flying vehicles coming out of DIY Drones.

Peter Diamandis

As a person who came from a small town and had dreams of becoming an actor, I know what it’s like to have no support system for what it is that you want to do. A lot of people think you don’t have a chance.

Anika Noni Rose

When you’re raising a little kid, you tell that kid to go after their goals and their dreams. And you tell them to work as hard as anybody.

Romeo Miller

I think what every skater dreams of is not only skating the best program they can possibly skate, but, y’know, having the crowd roar at the end, and it was just so loud I couldn’t even hear my music.

Sarah Hughes

I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?

Zhuangzi

Dreams are the guiding words of the soul. Why should I henceforth not love my dreams and not make their riddling images into objects of my daily consideration?

Carl Jung

Our brains have this habit of quilting dreams from the fabrics of our lives. As a filmmaker, I get to do it for a living.

Peter Landesman

Google is a global Rorschach test. We see in it what we want to see. Google has built an infrastructure that makes a lot of dreams closer to reality.

John Battelle

What people tell me they take away from my books is that they can shape their lives, they can achieve their own dreams. And certainly that’s what I want them to take away.

Tamora Pierce

You only get one album. You only get one single. You get one shot in music. But I have a million different dreams. Why can’t I go out and try to achieve them all? Who are you to say I can’t?

Lucy Hale

I just kind of wake up with a new idea and new dreams every day, and I follow that dream, as they say.

Dolly Parton

I’ve never been bashful to say that I’m not really interested in Formula One. When I lived in England, it’s all I wanted to do and I thought that anything else would somehow be a compromise to my dreams. But then when I came back to the States, I realised how much I loved being back in the States.

Danica Patrick

The life of a man consists not in seeing visions and in dreaming dreams, but in active charity and in willing service.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

When your dreams are close to coming true, it does not feel real at first.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan

I wanted to be a musician, either a guitarist or a drummer. I guess my dreams were in the entertainment industry, and I landed somewhere along there.

Israel Broussard

I have mixed feelings about how fast things are changing as a result of technology. There’s no denying that through technology there are amazing things being created that help people with diseases or help people’s dreams come true. But there’s also this obsession. Social media is the most dangerous of them all.

Amanda Crew

Women have to summon up courage to fulfill dormant dreams.

Alice Walker

The time I spent in New York when I was 17 gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams with my whole heart.

Leslie Odom, Jr.

The world of men is dreaming, it has gone mad in its sleep, and a snake is strangling it, but it can’t wake up.

D. H. Lawrence

The working class of England take their deracination completely for granted. Disenchantment is the happy code that informs every byway of the underclass: service jobs, celebrity dreams, Lotto wins, leisured poverty on pre-crunch credit cards, it’s all there, part of the story of an English people whose grandparents never had it so good.

Andrew O’Hagan

The greatest thing has been that projects that were pipe dreams before ‘Whiplash’ are now feeling more realistic.

Damien Chazelle

I had actually studied political science in college. I had dreams of being a lawyer at one time.

Michael Kelly

Every writer dreams of having a backyard cottage, similar to Dahl’s ‘writing hut.’ English cottages and charming huts might seem out of reach, but a good carpenter could build a modest cottage on the cheap.

Kate Klise

Some guys have trouble sleeping the night before an important round. I never have. Invariably, I sleep longer and better, and have more dreams, when I’m in contention and feeling pressure.

Tom Watson

I am a walking piece of art every day, with my dreams and my ambitions forward at all times in an effort to inspire my fans to lead their life in that way.

Lady Gaga

In my lifetime, I’ve discovered a great many incredibly talented individuals. Some have achieved stardom. Simultaneously, I’ve seen many dreams shattered, egos destroyed and lives changed forever. The end destination may well be fame and fortune, but the road to stardom is littered with broken hearts.

Nigel Lythgoe

There are many talented people who haven’t fulfilled their dreams because they over thought it, or they were too cautious, and were unwilling to make the leap of faith.

James Cameron

The job of elected officials is to answer to the people who sent them to Washington – not to scorn them, not to demean them, not to mock them, and not to sell their jobs and dreams to the highest bidder.

Jeff Sessions

Thankfully, dreams can change. If we’d all stuck with our first dream, the world would be overrun with cowboys and princesses.

Stephen Colbert

I never in my wildest dreams thought I would get even one play at Indiana, let alone 25 years later, walk Bruin Walk, walk UCLA where Coach Wooden built his legacy.

Steve Alford

I have very weirdly realistic dreams where it could be real life, except it’s not.

Nat Wolff

All books are either dreams or swords, you can cut, or you can drug, with words.

Amy Lowell

I’m a big fan of dreams. Unfortunately, dreams are our first casualty in life – people seem to give them up, quicker than anything, for a ‘reality.’

Kevin Costner

You’ll be much more successful if you follow your dreams and follow your passions.

Jay Weatherill

I immediately loved working with flies. They fascinated me and followed me around in my dreams.

Christiane Nusslein-Volhard

I don’t like dreams or reality. I like when dreams become reality because that is my life.

Jean Paul Gaultier

The hoary joke in the literary world, based on ‘Dreams From My Father,’ was that if things had worked out differently for Barack Obama, he could have made it as a writer.

James Fallows

I still have dreams in which someone is coming to the door.

Alek Wek

Today I know that there is still work to be done, but along the way my I am achieving my dreams.

Candace Parker

Since cancer, I feel like I have dreams rather than ambitions, visions rather than plans.

Eve Ensler

I have dreamed in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind.

Emily Bronte

Soviet expansionism in Europe, the battle for control of China, and the 1950 invasion of South Korea would shatter once-euphoric dreams of post-war cooperation with the Kremlin.

M. Stanton Evans

People are so busy dreaming the American Dream, fantasizing about what they could be or have a right to be, that they’re all asleep at the switch. Consequently we are living in the Age of Human Error.

Florence King

Dreams come true, but then things happen that are beyond anything you could dream. To be in a movie and to be in the same room participating in a movie with Meryl Streep? Come on!

BeBe Winans

The Washington black community was able to succeed beyond his wildest dreams. I mean, we had our own newspapers, our own restaurants, our own theaters, our own small shops, our own clubs, our own Masonic lodges.

Ed Smith

We in the majority have worked hard to empower people to create opportunities, to make jobs, to do things that turn America into a place where people can achieve their dreams.

Robin Hayes

Like my mother, I was always saying, ‘I’ll fix my life one day.’ It became clear when I saw her die without fulfilling her dreams that my time was now or maybe never.

Liz Murray

When I walk up on that shore in Florida, I want millions of those AARP sisters and brothers to look at me and say, ‘I’m going to go write that novel I thought it was too late to do. I’m going to go work in Africa on that farm that those people need help at. I’m going to adopt a child. It’s not too late, I can still live my dreams.’

Diana Nyad

As a young boy, I had strange dreams of affecting people and somehow being instrumental in changing the makeup of Africa and helping to improve life there.

Djimon Hounsou

Most ‘reality’ shows aren’t reality at all. They’re game shows with no prize. Like ‘Rock of Love.’ His aren’t genuine feelings. Then again, Bob Barker didn’t really care whether or not you won the toaster. Sorry to shatter everyone’s dreams.

Hal Sparks

I’ve dreamed landscapes for years, and my dreams play an enormous role in my work. In fact, when I first started doing landscapes I felt insecure about painting in this style, and the dreams were like positive omens for me, and I’ve done a few paintings that were exact replicas of images that came to me in dreams.

April Gornik

I’m a big believer in living out your dreams and facing your fears.

Brock Lesnar

A city is not gauged by its length and width, but by the broadness of its vision and the height of its dreams.

Herb Caen

Memories have huge staying power, but like dreams, they thrive in the dark, surviving for decades in the deep waters of our minds like shipwrecks on the sea bed.

J. G. Ballard

I hardly ever remember my dreams.

Tyler Blackburn

Sometimes your dreams come true.

Frank Bruno

You have to dream dreams to live dreams.

Eric Lindros

Horror is about dreams and heightened states. It really is about taking away the logic on some level and getting right to the emotion of something.

Tim Minear

You don’t know when you are immersed in a book what the reaction to it will be, but I feel great about ‘The Lake of Dreams.’

Kim Edwards

‘Dreams From My Father’ reveals more about Obama than is usually known about political leaders until after they’re dead. Perhaps more than it intends, it shows his mind working, in real time, sentence by sentence, in what feels like a private audience with the reader.

Jonathan Raban

Follow your dreams, work hard, practice and persevere. Make sure you eat a variety of foods, get plenty of exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Sasha Cohen

That’s what noir feels like to me. It feels like some kind of recurring dream, with very strong archetypes operating. You know, the guilty girl being pursued, falling, all kinds of stuff that we see in our dreams all the time.

Brian De Palma

I really want to live in New York. That’s the city of my dreams.

Joel Kinnaman

Dreams really tell you about yourself more than anything else in this world could ever tell you.

Sylvia Browne

It is great good health to believe, as the Hindus do, that there are 33 million gods and goddesses in the world. It is great good health to want to understand one’s dreams. It is great good health to desire the ambiguous and paradoxical.

Clive Barker

I believe in everything until it’s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it’s in your mind. Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as the here and now?

John Lennon

It’s interesting when you wind up distilling all your ambitions and your goals and dreams into one single person. It’s giving that person a lot of power.

Damien Chazelle

A God Jar is anything you wish it to be, in which you can put your wishes, dreams, problems, prayers. You may want to think of it as a spiritual mailbox.

Goal-getting matters. And writing down the brave acts and bold dreams you intend to accomplish will provide the spark to get them done.

Robin S. Sharma

I feel like, big city or small town, you can relate to following your parents’ footsteps or putting your own dreams on the back burner or vices that we get caught up in – that whole cycle. That’s not just a small-town thing. That’s a life thing.

Kacey Musgraves

In dreams begin responsibilities.

Delmore Schwartz

Romantic comedies seem to take over where the fairytales of childhood left off, feeding our dreams of a soulmate; though, sadly, the Hollywood endings prove quite elusive in the real world.

Mariella Frostrup

As I and the rest of my Pittsburgh Steelers teammates prepared that week in late December 1974, we knew one thing: The road to the Super Bowl in the AFC went through Oakland. To achieve your dreams as a team, you had to slay the Oakland Raiders. They were the barometer of what it took to be a championship team.

Joe Greene

Seems like half my anxiety dreams are about airports.

Lois McMaster Bujold

When you stop having dreams and ideals – well, you might as well stop altogether.

Marian Anderson

Am I athletic? In my dreams.

Hugh Bonneville

Ironically, it is exactly because we are a city that embraces freedom, that welcomes everyone and encourages their dreams, that New York remains on the front lines in the war on terror.

Michael Bloomberg

We all have pretty much similar dreams, and at the root of all those dreams is being able to be in control of your money.

Alexa Von Tobel

I’m not certain, but I have a little gypsy blood in me. And my mother always told me that her grandma could give someone the evil eye, and I’d better not cross her because she had some of that blood in her. Mother always believed that she could predict the future, and she had dreams that came true.

Sam Raimi

Dreams take you beyond what you think you can do in life.

Vikram Chatwal

When you cease to dream you cease to live.

Malcolm Forbes

That’s what keeps me going: dreaming, inventing, then hoping and dreaming some more in order to keep dreaming.

Joseph Barbera

I have had dreams and I have had nightmares, but I have conquered my nightmares because of my dreams.

Jonas Salk

Hopefully, young people will see that you can be young and make the sacrifices to follow your dreams.

Tinie Tempah

I feel like I’ve accomplished all my fantasies and childhood dreams. I had nothing; now I have everything.

Terezinha Guilhermina

Old age realizes the dreams of youth: look at Dean Swift; in his youth he built an asylum for the insane, in his old age he was himself an inmate.

Soren Kierkegaard

Throughout my career, I have been confronted with people who have doubted my ability to achieve the dreams and ambitions distilled into my soul by my father.

Joyce Banda

I just write what I wanted to write. I write what amuses me. It’s totally for myself. I never in my wildest dreams expected this popularity.

J. K. Rowling

Ever since we were little, we were so on fire for our dreams. We never let anyone blow our flames out.

Kelly Rowland

I’m a real soft, sentimental guy who dreams up decapitations.

David Seltzer

Winners, I am convinced, imagine their dreams first. They want it with all their heart and expect it to come true. There is, I believe, no other way to live.

Joe Montana

I liked lots of ‘Doctor Who’ books, but my favourite tale was a spooky story about two invalid children – who’ve never met in the real world – who get trapped in a shared dreamscape when they fall asleep. It’s called ‘Marianne Dreams’ by Catherine Storr.

Stephen Cole

To become an astronaut, someone has to have a dream of his own to do something that he or she has always wanted to do, then commit himself to making that dream come true.

Eugene Cernan

What are the Democrats, the party of Jim Matheson, telling them? The message of the Democrats is that the Amercian dream is over. ‘The government is all you have. Give up your dreams, and the government will save you, the government will heal you, the government will be your hope and change.’ We know here in Utah, none of that is true.

Mia Love

When I was 11 years old, I was bullied. It mainly started when I moved to California to pursue my dreams of being an actress. Kids back home in Texas, who I thought were my friends, were saying things behind my back. They said that I would never make it because I wasn’t talented or pretty enough to be on TV.

Raini Rodriguez

I adore this adventure, I adore working with youth. For me it’s a daily challenge, working to help these youths realize their dreams.

Patrick Roy

I think any time someone’s dreams are crushed, there’s the people who can fight to still try and fulfill those dreams and then there’s the people who just give up.

Constance Zimmer

But baseball bounced back in the next decade to reclaim its place as the national pastime: new heroes, spirited competition, and booming prosperity gave birth to dreams of expansion, both within the major leagues and around the world.

John Thorn

To act: that is what the writer would like to be able to do, above all. To act, rather than to bear witness. To write, imagine, and dream in such a way that his words and inventions and dreams will have an impact upon reality, will change people’s minds and hearts, will prepare the way for a better world.

J. M. G. Le Clezio

I grew up knowing I would be good at athletics, and dreams of a Super Bowl were always within reach as long as I progressed.

Matt Willig

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Eleanor Roosevelt

My parent’s divorce and hard times at school, all those things combined to mold me, to make me grow up quicker. And it gave me the drive to pursue my dreams that I wouldn’t necessarily have had otherwise.

Christina Aguilera

For an athlete myself, it is especially meaningful for our country to host an Olympics. Every athlete hopes to participate in an Olympics, so I still can’t believe the games of dreams is going to take place in Korea.

Kim Yuna

It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

My parents always told me to be myself. I was always funny and silly as a kid. And I would always make them laugh. And they always told me to dream big and follow those dreams.

Richard Simmons

An athlete cannot run with money in his pockets. He must run with hope in his heart and dreams in his head.

Emil Zatopek

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

Henry David Thoreau

When you’re a young English person who wants to be an actress and you have dreams, you dream of being Vanessa Redgrave or Judi Dench.

Janet McTeer

Skating, I think I was told once, is the second most expensive sport. My family’s had to refinance three times – they really want to do anything that it takes for my dreams to come true. I hope to one day have a family that I can do that for and kind of give back in the same way that my family gave to me.

Jeremy Abbott

I’ve learned in the little bit of my life so far that you can’t fool people. And so I only tell people what I think about: my ambitions, my dreams, what inspires me.

Benjamin Clementine

I think dreams can come true, but not necessarily like fairy-tales. It’s not always so perfect like that.

Patrick Dempsey

I’ve shown that if you dream and are willing to work hard, you can achieve your dreams.

Mo Farah

Americans are hard working, innovative, proud people who want bad government policies and high taxes to get out of the way so they can take care of their families and pursue their dreams.

Tim Walberg

I’m not more than a musician that enjoys what he does and a Colombian that dreams and fights for peace in his country.

Juanes

My life turned out to be beyond my greatest dreams.

Anthony Hopkins

No person has the right to rain on your dreams.

Marian Wright Edelman

Age Quotes: A nice collection of age quotes and sayings to share among other people, who are enjoying their youth ness or getting older as time passes away.

I did not move to New York with a plan. The first time I moved to New York, I just popped up. My sister was living here in New York. I just popped up. She had her baby and a husband, and I just popped up. ‘Hey, what’s up? I got $200 and dreams. Let’s do this.’

Hannibal Buress

I haven’t had an easy life, but at some point, you have to take responsibility for yourself and shape who it is that you want to be. I have no time for moaners. I like to chase my dreams and surround myself with other people who are chasing their dreams, too.

Aimee Mullins

Right before ‘American Dreams,’ I started to pursue these avenues, like short films and getting into a couple night courses to really study photography and cinematography, and the language of visual storytelling.

Tom Verica

I think the fact that I am living my dream and being really productive and embarking on all my lifelong aspirations is proof enough that if I can do it, anyone can. I try to tell everybody to dream big and go after their dreams.

Elliott Yamin

The dreams of the 1960s began to disappear in the 1970s. The economy collapsed, and so did the optimism of the Metabolists.

Toyo Ito

The follow your dreams thing is really important because so many people are railroaded into taking other paths by their family, their friends, people who should be supportive going, ‘What are you talking about?’ Even just seemingly regular career paths, but if it’s not what people expect for you they kind of react funny.

Joan Jett

When you’re a kid, you have these big ideas and these big dreams to make a change, or maybe you feel like you can’t make a difference.

AnnaSophia Robb

I believe the reason we sleep is not just to allow our body to rest but that it is to allow this inner wisdom to speak to us through symbols. This includes the body or somatic problems as well as psychological ones. Dreams and drawings are useful in diagnosing physical conditions.

Bernie Siegel

I love ‘Memory Keeper’s Daughter,’ but in some ways I think ‘The Lake of Dreams’ is a stronger book. I was able to tell the story I wanted to tell. That’s all you can ever do as a writer. From there on you have no control over it.

Kim Edwards

You can do anything if you set your mind to it. Look out for kids, help them dream and be inspired. We teach calculus in schools, but I believe the most important formula is courage plus dreams equals success.

Marlee Matlin

Believe it or not, lots of people change their majors and abandon their dreams just to avoid a couple of math classes in college.

Danica McKellar

I’m just a regular Baltimore chick who believed in God enough to follow her dreams.

Bresha Webb

I don’t understand people who dream in black and white. I just don’t get it. My dreams have always been vivid color.

Gary Ross

When a child, my dreams rode on your wishes, I was your son, high on your horse, My mind a top whipped by the lashes Of your rhetoric, windy of course.

Stephen Spender

I’ve succeeded beyond my wildest dreams – financially and the amount of fun I have in my life.

Phil Hartman

I had dreams of becoming an officer and a gentleman. But hey: One out of two ain’t bad.

Rhys Darby

If you’re following your dreams, you’re doing something you love and that you believe in yourself for.

McKayla Maroney

No matter how carefully you plan your goals they will never be more than pipe dreams unless you pursue them with gusto.

W. Clement Stone

Sigmund Freud said we act out our own dreams, but if you are only an actor you are not acting out your own dream. You are simply participating in someone else’s dream.

John Malkovich

When I give speeches at college, I don’t tell stories, I talk about what it is to live your dreams and take the path less traveled.

Tucker Max

When I was at college, the idea of fashion was more immediate to me, whereas art photography, the depth of it, was a different thing. Storytelling – fanciful storytelling – can only be told through fashion photography. It’s the perfect way to play with fantasy and dreams.

Tim Walker

It is easier to learn to interpret dreams if you have a reason to use them for something constructive. You apply your dream insights to making constructive changes in your life.

Henry Reed

I went into the ‘Idol’ audition with no expectations; that’s just the kind of person I am. If it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t hurt so badly, you know? But once I made it past the first round, and the second, and third – I started to realize, ‘Maybe my goals and dreams really are attainable.’

Crystal Bowersox

I’m very tired, but this is what every filmmaker dreams about: that their $15 million, under-the-radar film is now being seen by so many people.

Morten Tyldum

One of my first dreams when I was a child was becoming a painter.

Hideo Kojima

Man is a genius when he is dreaming.

Akira Kurosawa

In Dreams… well, I was slightly overcompensating with that. I was a bit like a director for hire, so maybe I was putting too much imagery that was familiar to me into it.

Neil Jordan

Never let life impede on your ability to manifest your dreams. Dig deeper into your dreams and deeper into yourself and believe that anything is possible, and make it happen.

Corin Nemec

There are hundreds of stories I’ve heard from black women from my generation, generations before me, and the next, that have never been given an opportunity to fulfill their dreams.

Misty Copeland

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts.

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

When I look back over my life it’s almost as if there was a plan laid out for me – from the little girl who was so passionate about animals who longed to go to Africa and whose family couldn’t afford to put her through college. Everyone laughed at my dreams. I was supposed to be a secretary in Bournemouth.

Jane Goodall

Dreams get you into the future and add excitement to the present.

Robert Conklin

The ‘Star Trek’ future, to me, is where we are headed. Everything is automated, and we are free to pursue our dreams. We are free to pursue lives that aren’t about working and toiling away in dangerous jobs. For example, how many of us would love to be poets, or how many of us would love to be artists?

Gray Scott

Our reactor actually burns nuclear waste as fuel. So not only is it safe and powerful, it solves an important issue: It actually reduces nuclear waste instead of creating. It’s the reactor of your dreams.

Nathan Myhrvold

I have lots of favorites movies. I say this only because it’s a favorite movie because it’s a sport I love. I’m a huge baseball fan. There are movies I like as much as this, but I sort of single this movie out because I’m a baseball nut, and that’s ‘Field of Dreams.’

Rick Santorum

I am a dreamer. Seriously, I’m living on another planet.

Eva Green

Dreams become reality when we put our minds to it.

Queen Latifah

I can’t comprehend that I’m in the film of ‘Les Miserables.’ It’s one of those dreams I thought would be unattainable for someone like me, who came from nowhere.

Samantha Barks

I am extremely suspicious of dreams, apparitions and visions, both in literature and in films and plays. Perhaps it’s because mental excesses of this sort smack too much of being ‘arranged.’

Ingmar Bergman

Our fathers had their dreams; we have ours; the generation that follows will have its own. Without dreams and phantoms man cannot exist.

Olive Schreiner

Every actor dreams of getting a big break, a big opportunity.

Liam McIntyre

I don’t remember my dreams too much. I hardly have ever gotten ideas from nighttime dreams. But I love daydreaming and dream logic and the way dreams go.

David Lynch

Books that distribute things… with as daring a freedom as we use in dreams, put us on our feet again.

Marsilio Ficino

Literature for me isn’t a workaday job, but something which involves desires, dreams and fantasy.

Antonio Tabucchi

All my childhood dreams have come true.

Lucas Till

I really had a lot of dreams when I was a kid, and I think a great deal of that grew out of the fact that I had a chance to read a lot.

Bill Gates

It’s when children are 15, 16 or 17 that they decide whether they want to be a doctor, an engineer, a politician or go to the Mars or moon. That is the time they start having a dream, and that’s the time you can work on them. You can help them shape their dreams.

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

I grew up 150-200 miles from any city. You simply didn’t have much connection with the outside world. So my dreams were always to get out. It’s a familiar kind of thing, I think, for anybody in a small town.

Bobbie Ann Mason

It was taunted as reality. It was dangled as a carrot. In terms of people’s hopes and dreams, to say that that is less of a reality than the daily grind they find themselves in is maybe not correct.

Martin Mull

Education is at the heart of achieving your dreams.

Patrice Motsepe

Mitt Romney will stop the attacks on job creators, encourage entrepreneurs to chase their dreams, and bring good jobs and a better future to all Americans.

Marco Rubio

Thanking you once more, I want to wish you the best of luck for your future life and to conclude by saying to you: Dream your dreams and may they come true!

Felix Bloch

I challenge you to be dreamers; I challenge you to be doers and let us make the greatest place in the world even better.

Brian Schweitzer

While novels are fiction, mine are usually very close to my heart. Like my other books, ‘The Lemon Orchard’ is inspired by something I care about. I care so deeply. The stories are my dreams, and I want to do a lot of research. Roberto is based on a real live friend of mine named Armando who worked in my garden.

Luanne Rice

To this day, some of my closest friends say, ‘Gaga, you know, everything’s great. You’re a singer; your dreams have come true.’ But, still, when certain things are said to you over and over again as you’re growing up, it stays with you and you wonder if they’re true.

Lady Gaga

I would like to see anyone be able to achieve their dreams, and that’s what this organization does.

Sergey Brin

People are so obsessed with making their careers and having a big house; then you realize that kills your dreams. It even kills what makes your life because you get so busy inside.

Stephanie Szostak

I’m sure that everyone who goes into fashion always dreams of having a perfume, since it completes the brand and exposes it in a different way.

Reem Acra

Sometimes your dreams come true, and it’s a real drag.

Kyle Kinane

For all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams.

Pedro Calderon de la Barca

The man who never dreams, goes slowly mad.

Thomas Dolby

Capitalism is always evaluated against dreams. Utopia is a dream. It doesn’t exist.

Rush Limbaugh

Glamour is an imaginative process that creates a specific emotional response: a sharp mixture of projection, longing, admiration, and aspiration. It evokes an audience’s hopes and dreams and makes them seem attainable, all the while maintaining enough distance to sustain the fantasy.

Virginia Postrel

I would like to instill in people just to work hard. As long as they keep at it, their dreams will happen.

Misty May-Treanor

I never, in my wildest dreams, could I have thought that the first role I get out of school would lead to an Oscar nomination.

Lupita Nyong’o

Dreams from 1991 are becoming reality. We will build good relations between nations and people. We will strive towards mutual respect and equality of every individual, sex, race and national or any other minority.

Janez Drnovsek

It feels good being a restaurant owner because it’s part of my dreams of being the biggest mogul.

DJ Khaled

Long walks on the beach are the supposed holy grail of a romantic evening. The beach becomes a kind of utopia – the place where all our dreams come true.

Roxane Gay

To all the kids out there: Follow your dream. Believe in your dream. Because dreams do come true.

Rickey Henderson

Everyone dreams of living in Paris.

Natalie Portman

Friends can have different dreams and do different things.

Sabrina Bryan

Amplifying atoms is more subtle than amplifying electromagnetic waves because atoms can only change their quantum state and cannot be created. Therefore, even if one could amplify gold atoms, one would not realize the dreams of medieval alchemy.

Wolfgang Ketterle

Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths.

Joseph Campbell

My childhood dreams were focused on being part of the effort to make humanity a multiplanetary species.

Peter Diamandis

One of my favorite ways to write paranormal, as in the ‘Wake’ trilogy, is to write very normal characters with just a hint of something other-worldly. Like somewhere, maybe, someone really can get sucked into other people’s dreams.

Lisa McMann

Like dreams, statistics are a form of wish fulfillment.

Jean Baudrillard

My dreams for the future are simple: work, a happy, healthy family, a lovely long motorcycle ride, and continuing the struggle to awaken people to the need for serious human rights reform.

Mike Farrell

To every people the land is given on condition. Perceived or not, there is a Covenant, beyond the constitution, beyond sovereign guarantee, beyond the nation’s sweetest dreams of itself.

Leonard Cohen

Here in America, those who once had no hope will give their kids the chance at a life they always wanted for themselves. Here in America, generations of unfulfilled dreams will finally come to pass.

Marco Rubio

Both my parents were working-class and had dreams of making the world a better place. It’s pretty powerful, being able to reflect back their beliefs.

Neneh Cherry

But what I’d really like to tell you is I never dreamed of being in the Hall of Fame. Standing here with all these great players was beyond any of my dreams.

Robin Yount

We live between the act of awakening and the act of surrender. Each morning, we awaken to the light and the invitation to a new day in the world of time; each night, we surrender to the dark to be taken to play in the world of dreams where time is no more.

John O’Donohue

No movie influenced me more to go after my dreams than ‘Flashdance.’ After seeing it, I took 15 dance lessons a week. I cut all my sweatshirts. I did the ‘Maniac’ thing.

Elizabeth Berkley

In my wildest dreams, I never would have thought we’d come to the point where were talking about the re-election of a black president.

Harvey Gantt

From Italy, I’d get calls from cousins and aunts saying, ‘I don’t think you should act. It’s really tough. What are the chances?’ This was around the time ‘Flashdance’ came out, and I was like, ‘What about your dreams? I’m a maniac.’

Enrico Colantoni

Instead of plotting the demise of the traditional family, as some politicians and religious leaders would have you believe, gay people mow their lawns and watch ‘American Idol’ and video their children’s concerts and have the same hopes and dreams that their straight counterparts do.

Jodi Picoult

We will be returning to historical levels of inequality. We’ll view post-war America as a kind of strange interlude not to be repeated. It won’t be the dreams that we all had that virtually all incomes go up in lockstep at three percent a year. It hurts to give that up.

Tyler Cowen

From a very young age, I would fall off the bed and wake up on the floor because of dreams. I have a memory from the age of four in which I felt God.

Ayelet Zurer

In high school, I worked eight hours a day just so I could get into the college of my dreams and say that I got in – and I never went.

Bo Burnham

If you think about becoming a writer, that’s just really one of the big dreams I had. It’s really important to have those dreams and pursue your passions.

Deb Caletti

As soon as I became old enough to make my dreams my reality, I became a firm believer that the subconscious and the world outside of our flesh and blood is essentially the truth.

Melissa Auf der Maur

My first book was called ‘Buried Dreams,’ about a serial-killer, which was probably about ten years ahead of the serial-killer curve. It was a national bestseller, but it was three years of living in the sewer of this guy’s mind.

Tim Cahill

Yesterday is but today’s memory, and tomorrow is today’s dream.

Khalil Gibran

We all get lost along the way, but hopefully we figure out some sort of path. It helps if you can imagine the process as well as the goal. Those kinds of dreams are easier to achieve.

Annette Bening

Dreaming of a tomorrow, which tomorrow, will be as distant then as ’tis today.

Lope de Vega

Horror, for me, has to involve some sort of fantasy. Horror is something that is in your dreams or your nightmares.

Cassandra Peterson

Today, dancers have so much more information and are much more mobile. Kids are traveling everywhere to go to summer programs, funding themselves with Kickstarter – putting their dreams on the Internet and seeing if they will pan out.

Carla Korbes

The starting point of discovering who you are, your gifts, your talents, your dreams, is being comfortable with yourself. Spend time alone. Write in a journal. Take long walks in the woods.

Robin S. Sharma

I want my boys to have an understanding of people’s emotions, their insecurities, people’s distress, and their hopes and dreams.

Princess Diana

I’ve had dreams – there were three things I wanted to do during my career. I did them during my first year of Grand Prix.

Charlotte Dujardin

You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands – your own.

Mark Victor Hansen

The great function of poetry is to give back to us the situations of our dreams.

Gaston Bachelard

It’s insecurity that is always chasing you and standing in the way of your dreams.

Vin Diesel

I have the most beautiful souls in my life supporting me and helping me to follow my dreams. I love them more than I can ever express in words.

Bindi Irwin

What makes a loft authentic isn’t its layout or its history but its ability to give people a true home – a dwelling that reflects their personalities and aspirations, including their dreams of urbanity.

Virginia Postrel

Dreams about the future are always filled with gadgets.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

A lot of people put pressure on themselves and think it will be way too hard for them to live out their dreams. Mentors are there to say, ‘Look, it’s not that tough. It’s not as hard as you think. Here are some guidelines and things I have gone through to get to where I am in my career.’

Joe Jonas

There’s no training for the business, no credentials necessary to enter… It’s all about entrepreneurs, innate street intelligence, and instincts. It’s a business which encourages people with dreams. That’s the essence of Hollywood.

Dawn Steel

If you can’t read, it’s going to be hard to realize dreams.

Booker T. Washington

No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to fly high. No government, no legislature, has a right to limit your dreams. You should never agree to surrender your dreams.

Jesse Jackson

Don’t think your dreams don’t come true, because they do. You’d better be careful what you wish for. And I truly and honestly – one day I am doing the ‘Beaver’ show and I said, ‘This is the show I have always wanted to do.’

Barbara Billingsley

‘The Lake of Dreams’ grew gradually, over many years, elements and ideas accruing until they gained enough critical mass to become a novel.

Kim Edwards

I’m a really hectic dreamer; I never wake up not out of a dream, and there’s loads going on, lots of action, big blockbuster dreams, they’re all major enterprises.

Linda Grant

I’ve been interested in dreams since I as a kid and I’ve wanted to do a film about them for a long time.

Christopher Nolan

I’ve always wanted to make movies that are fever dreams.

Damien Chazelle

I tell people ‘America’s Got Talent’ is the best summer job you could have – you get to watch people strive for their dreams all summer long. So when you see me rooting for these people or dancing on the side of the stage, that’s what I’d be doing if I was watching this show at home!

Nick Cannon

After all those days in the cotton fields, the dreams came true on a gold record on a piece of wood. It’s in my den where I can look at it every day. I wear it out lookin’ at it.

Carl Perkins

My mom taught me to go after my dreams. I have this faith in myself that I must have gotten from her.

Amy Jo Johnson

Much can be inferred about a man from his mistress: in her one beholds his weaknesses and his dreams.

Georg C. Lichtenberg

I’ve got a young man who works for me who says you don’t need to discover your dreams – you need to recover them.

Dave Ramsey

I was told before my first trip that no city in the world offered the dreams you could have sleeping in Havana. But nobody warned me that Havana also always feels like an exhausting nightmare that never quite fulfills the promise of what it’s threatening you with.

Brin-Jonathan Butler

A positive attitude can really make dreams come true – it did for me.

David Bailey

I can have my goals, and I can have my dreams. My goal is to make the finals and improve my position. I want to run all decent races. I don’t want to look back and say I ran a terrible race.

Oscar Pistorius

A fulfilling life is different to each person. You have to acknowledge your dreams, and not just wait for life to happen, and opportunities to come knocking at your door.

Joan Lunden

All my dreams are coming true all across the board for some reason.

Jay Electronica

Dreams don’t have deadlines. I’m thinking of doing bigger and better things and having more fun with it.

LL Cool J

I have so many friends who just have big dreams, and they work their butts off every day to try to make these things happen, and so long as we keep that mindset and remember others, I think we’ll be good.

Jennette McCurdy

I don’t write from dreams because I don’t remember mine, but I had a fragment of an image left about twins, whose father was telling them how their lives were going to go for the next eight years. I wrote a scene about that, and then another and then another and then another, and after five months I had 732 pages.

Tamora Pierce

Do all you can to make your dreams come true.

Joel Osteen

Everyone wants to look their best, everyone has dreams of wanting to look like something else. But we are who we are.

Samantha Morton

Never set limits, go after your dreams, don’t be afraid to push the boundaries. And laugh a lot – it’s good for you!

Paula Radcliffe

Dreams are like paper, they tear so easily.

Gilda Radner

I was in Nepal and I had watched Oprah Winfrey’s show. I had no idea, as a kid in Nepal, who she was, but I remember watching an episode of hers about living your dreams.

Prabal Gurung

Mr. Tennyson has said that more things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of, but he wisely refrains from saying whether they are good or bad things.

Samuel Butler

I am, you know, really fighting for myself and my life. And I think the message that I could give to anybody is that it’s never too late to start your life again and dream new dreams.

Jennifer Holliday

I am rich beyond the dreams of avarice.

Edward Moore

Dreams grow holy put in action.

Adelaide Anne Procter

America’s legacy has been crafted by generations of hard-working men and women who moved to the United States from all over the globe to pursue their dreams.

Charles B. Rangel

‘The Impossible Dream’ is, in my opinion, one of the greatest songs ever written. Here is a man, an old man, a very old man full of daring, bravery, courage, determination, romanticism and dreams.

Christopher Lee

When your dreams tire, they go underground and out of kindness that’s where they stay.

Libby Houston

Both dreams and myths are important communications from ourselves to ourselves. If we do not understand the language in which they are written, we miss a great deal of what we know and tell ourselves in those hours when we are not busy manipulating the outside world.

Erich Fromm

I remember my dreams when I was a junior soloist. ‘Oh, I hope I don’t end here,’ I thought. ‘I want to do the ballerina in ‘Scotch Symphony.’ I don’t want to be the little Scotch girl.’ And I actually went beyond my wildest dreams. I worked with Balanchine. I had ballets choreographed for me.

Patricia McBride

We live because of the dreams.

Marat Safin

Though I know he loves me, tonight my heart is sad; his kiss was not so wonderful as all the dreams I had.

Sara Teasdale

I would feel like such a behind if I went to California and made my family move, and they couldn’t find their dreams there, too.

RJ Cyler

I do have the odd dream where I’m on stage and I’ve completely forgotten what I’m meant to be performing – so they are more nightmares than dreams.

Kate Bush

Catcher in the Rye had a profound impact on me-the idea that we all have lots of dreams that are slowly being chipped away as we grow up.

Judd Nelson

I wasn’t prepared to get a mammogram until I was 40 years old, like I’d been told. I never in my wildest dreams expected anything to be wrong.

Giuliana Rancic

I’ve had quite a lot of luck with dreams. I’ve often awoken in the night with a phrase or even a whole song in my head.

Brian Eno

I spent my entire childhood in an environment in which the mighty of the earth had no place outside story books and dreams.

Halldor Laxness

Talking, talking. Spinning a web of words, pale walls of dreams, between myself and all I see.

John Gardner

In my dreams, I could be a Princess, and that’s what I was. Like most little girls, I believed nothing less than a Prince could make my dreams come true.

Loretta Young

I’ve learned not to buy into what other people say. I’ve learned not to put dreams in other people’s hands.

Michael Oher

Freedom and democracy are dreams you never give up.

Aung San Suu Kyi

I spend a lot of time practicing active imagination before I go to sleep. What I’m feeling will manifest as images through active imagination. And then I go to sleep, and those play out even more in my dreams.

Jeff Mangum

Fiction makes your dreams come true, and, as a writer, fiction allows you to delve into the area of miracles.

James McBride

Our religion is the traditions of our ancestors – the dreams of our old men, given them in solemn hours of the night by the Great Spirit; and the visions of our sachems, and is written in the hearts of our people.

Chief Seattle

I feel like I’m making a difference. I feel like putting out a message for young girls to follow your dreams and just work at what you want to do and be yourself.

Willow Smith

Going back to the moon is not visionary in restoring space leadership for America. Like its Apollo predecessor, it will prove to be a dead end littered with broken spacecraft, broken dreams and broken policies.

Buzz Aldrin

I love the idea of being part of a campaign that captures the spirit of New York and the stories of women here, passionate about their dreams.

Rita Ora

Dreams are not without meaning wherever thay may come from-from fantasy, from the elements, or from other inspiration.

Paracelsus

I don’t design clothes, I design dreams.

Ralph Lauren

Marriage is a kind of prison for anyone who’s miserable in it – men and women alike – and anyone who’s suffered through difficult periods in marriage dreams of escape from it.

Adam Ross

All human beings are also dream beings. Dreaming ties all mankind together.

Jack Kerouac

It has never been my object to record my dreams, just the determination to realize them.

Man Ray

We can bring to characters dark and bright sides that nobody even dreams about.

Sonia Braga

The buildings that I build very often have a dreamlike reality. I don’t mean by that they have a fantasy quality at all, in fact quite the reverse. They contain in some degree the ingredients that give dreams their power… stuff that’s very close to us.

Christopher Alexander

As a young man you don’t notice at all that you were, after all, badly affected. For years afterwards, at least ten years, I kept getting these dreams, in which I had to crawl through ruined houses, along passages I could hardly get through.

Otto Dix

I feel honored to be an example for others. It makes it feel worthwhile to have overcome all the challenges I have encountered so I can help others to dream and also fulfill their dreams.

Terezinha Guilhermina

I was not born in a home where there were stereotypes. So that was very useful because it gave me the sense of possibilities, of flying, if I may say, of making my hopes and dreams a reality.

Michelle Bachelet

I will teach people not only how to identify their goals and dreams, but subsequently give them the tools to make those dreams a reality.

Jillian Michaels

An Academy Award nomination is stuff dreams are made of.

Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy

I’m a journeyman actor, and I don’t ever want to forget that. With romantic-lead dreams.

William Sanderson

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.

T. E. Lawrence

We are near waking when we dream we are dreaming.

Novalis

I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.

Frida Kahlo

Then I was working in a store in Newark, New Jersey, and I saw an actor in person, and I got so excited. My whole day changed. That’s when I decided to challenge myself to make my dreams become a reality.

Derek Luke

Whatever you do, life don’t stop. It only sits a minute and dreams a dream.

Grace Paley

Politics are beautiful. They enable a community to live collectively with one another. It’s not about stabbing each other in the back; it’s about enabling people to reach their dreams and pursue happiness.

Ben Nicholson

As you look back at your life, there are just a million different things that have happened, just in the right way, to allow you to make your dreams come true. And you know, someone has all that under control.

Michael P. Anderson

The thing that I’ve always believed is that you have to follow your passion, and if climbing is your calling in life and your craft, to not do it is a tragedy. I am always going to encourage my children to follow their passions and dreams, whatever they are.

Jimmy Chin

I remember seeing this picture my mother had of Dick Clark. It didn’t inspire me to be an actor or anything, but when I did ‘American Dreams’ with Dick Clark, my mother came out, and she showed him this picture of them that was taken 35 years earlier. It was great.

Tom Verica

A successful life is one that is lived through understanding and pursuing one’s own path, not chasing after the dreams of others.

Chin-Ning Chu

I motivate others by making sure that they understand to go after their dreams and don’t let anyone tell you you can’t. If you are motivated enough and put the work in that you can achieve anything in life that you set your mind to.

Magic Johnson

It was no accident that I made ‘Hoop Dreams’ because it concerned a sport that I loved and hoped would be my dream, however far-fetched that turned out to be. Because of the success of that film, Hollywood pigeonholed me as a sports biopic guy, which led to ‘Prefontaine’ and two cable sports films.

Steve James

Barack Obama’s official nomination as the Democratic Party’s standard-bearer was a very poignant moment for millions of Americans. As the first non-white major party nominee, Obama is carrying a big load on his shoulders. He’s holding the hopes and dreams of a lot of folks who thought the presidency was only reserved for white men.

Chuck Todd

The more you can dream, the more you can do.

Michael Korda

Saddle your dreams before you ride em.

Mary Webb

It’s hard because people always say, ‘Follow your dreams,’ but it’s not a perfect world, and things don’t always work out. But you’ve just got to work hard, and you can’t take things for granted.

Stephen Colletti

I mostly play old period songs, as they suit a ukulele more. I bought it when I saw the tribute concert to George Harrison. Joe Brown came on and sang ‘I’ll See You In My Dreams,’ and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.

Charles Dance

I hope I can make more miracles, more dreams come true.

Guan Tianlang

I never ask a man what his business is, for it never interests me. What I ask him about are his thoughts and dreams.

H. P. Lovecraft

Now I know we have the power to incite change through the Internet – keep sharing our stories, our dreams, and our struggles.

Ty Dolla Sign

I’d definitely be the kind of parent who enabled my child’s dreams. I’d just watch and nurture and guide them. I have the blueprints of what not to do… I think I’d be a good parent, actually.

Drew Barrymore

Dreams have only one owner at a time. That’s why dreamers are lonely.

Erma Bombeck

Men never cling to their dreams with such tenacity as at the moment when they are losing faith in them, and know it, but do not dare yet to confess it to themselves.

William Graham Sumner

Even in the most peaceful communities, an appetite for violence shows up in dreams, fantasies, sports, play, literature, movies and television. And, so long as we don’t transform into angels, violence and the threat of violence – as in punishment and deterrence – is needed to rein in our worst instincts.

Paul Bloom

You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning.

Billy Wilder

It’s good to have plans and dreams, but don’t be surprised if God brings you somewhere else.

Anne F. Beiler

I did commit to myself that I would not jump back into being the workaholic that I can be before I gave myself an honest opportunity to create the marriage of my dreams and to create the beginning of the family of my dreams, and that took a hot second.

Alanis Morissette

I want to still be singing at 70 years old. I want to be open to the dreams I haven’t even dreamed up.

A test of what is real is that it is hard and rough. Joys are found in it, not pleasure. What is pleasant belongs to dreams.

Debi Thomas

Take everything easy and quit dreaming and brooding and you will be well guarded from a thousand evils.

One of the things I find extremely challenging about the continent of Africa is that when the immediate needs and the social needs of people are not met, that kills dreams, and it’s all about survival.

One of my dreams is to walk down the runway during Fashion Week!

Zendaya

Kevin A. Ford

Make treating yourself a priority and always remember your life is happening now. Don’t put off all your dreams and pleasures to another day. In any balanced personal definition of success there has to be a powerful element of living life in the present.

Mireille Guiliano

I heard my name associated with the Peter Pan syndrome more than once. But really, what’s so wrong with Peter Pan? Peter Pan flies. He is a metaphor for dreams and faith.

Mark Burnett

Conquering America for a U.K. artist is incredible because that’s what everybody wants and dreams about. The accomplishment is dominating a market which you aren’t familiar with.

Rita Ora

Everybody deserves an opportunity to fulfill their dreams.

Akkineni Nagarjuna

Yet it is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.

Virginia Woolf

Death is the mother of Beauty; hence from her, alone, shall come fulfillment to our dreams and our desires.

Wallace Stevens

The first ‘D’ is to dream: dream big – not for yourself, but for the country and for the world. The second ‘D’ is to discover: discover your full potential and the opportunities that surround you; and the third ‘D’ is to do. ‘Do’ means to act on your dreams and make best use of the opportunities you have discovered.

Kailash Satyarthi

The world is seldom what it seems; to man, who dimly sees, realities appear as dreams, and dreams realities.

Samuel Johnson

To wear dreams on one’s feet is to begin to give a reality to one’s dreams.

Roger Vivier

We need to be aware of what we are capable of first and realize that if you place your dreams really really high, you do have the potential to get to that level.

Vicente Fox

I worry whether it’s not really the best way to live one’s life – trying to fulfill the dreams you had as a child. Maybe it’s quite a backwards approach.

Joe Cornish

If you don’t have dreams, you don’t have a life.

Bryce Harper

If I could have had everything exactly the way I wanted, this is how I would have written it down. Win all my fights in the first round, then go to the UFC and headline a show, and have it as a pay-per-view and at home. People’s dreams don’t come true like that.

Ronda Rousey

I think being nice and being safe is unfair to yourself when you have big dreams as a woman. I think you have to prepare yourself that not everyone in this world has the same personality… The one thing I’ve chosen to be great at in my life is singing – so why not be proud that I’m great at it?

Jessie J

Most new jobs won’t come from our biggest employers. They will come from our smallest. We’ve got to do everything we can to make entrepreneurial dreams a reality.

Ross Perot

My dreams were all my own; I accounted for them to nobody; they were my refuge when annoyed – my dearest pleasure when free.

Mary Shelley

All my life, I’ve had these flashbacks, these dreams, nightmares, daymares, like visions, where I relive certain plays. Only the bad plays. I see them over and over, as if somebody’s rewinding a tape and forcing me to watch.

Colin Kaepernick

We are people with all the hopes, dreams, passions, and faults of everyone else. Eighty percent of us are born into families with no history of dwarfism.

Billy Barty

‘Modelland’ has always been a part of my mind and my heart. I’m excited that you’ll be able to read about this magical world that’s been living in my dreams for so many years.

Tyra Banks

Paris. City of love. City of dreams. City of splendor. City of saints and scholars. City of gaiety. Sink of iniquity.

I was always someone who lived in the future all the time, it was always the next thing – dreams of escape.

Julie Walters

It is one of the blessings of this world that few people see visions and dream dreams.

Zora Neale Hurston

The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.

Paul Valery

Even the largest of my dreams and ambitions, I realize with increasing dismay, were puny, measly, compared to the object of my dreaming. I would not say my life to date has been built overmuch of compromise, but still, it surrounds me.

Our citizens and those who have gone before us charted the broad outlines of where we need to go, and they would envy our opportunity to translate those dreams into action. And I believe they will judge us very harshly should we fail to act.

Dave Freudenthal

I’m fulfilling my dreams that I had as a kid every single day.

Aaron Rodgers

What is the conservative movement? It’s pretty straightforward. We believe that the way prosperity is created is when people have the freedom and the opportunity to pursue their dreams.

Marco Rubio

No one respects the First Amendment more than I do. People have a right to express their concerns and their hopes and dreams to their government.

Anthony Foxx

A dream is a scripture, and many scriptures are nothing but dreams.

Umberto Eco

Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.

Jonas Salk

I never had those dreams of making the Olympics. Never.

Malcolm Gladwell

You know, my dad served in the President’s Cabinet after his time as a governor. He told me he enjoyed being governor a lot more. Now, I understand why. If I do my job well, I can make a difference in people’s lives and I can help our children realize their dreams.

Mitt Romney

I had an amazing childhood and always loved to sing and dance, but there were moments where I had ups and downs with my health that often tested me as it does many people. I’ve never hidden the fact that my health was sometimes not on my side, but I’ve never let it define me or deter me from my dreams.

Jessie J

So, I think that Marilyn, what she gave the world, and in many ways Kennedy too, was that they had dreams and they didn’t allow anybody to take away their dreams.

Sally Kirkland

When you have a dream that you can’t let go of, trust your instincts and pursue it. But remember: Real dreams take work, They take patience, and sometimes they require you to dig down very deep. Be sure you’re willing to do that.

Harvey Mackay

We don’t have an eternity to realize our dreams, only the time we are here.

Susan L. Taylor

I met the man of my dreams at a gym, and then we got married in Vegas – because we’re classy. When you meet at a gym, where else do you get married?

Megan Hilty

Pop culture shapes our ideas of what is normal and what our dreams can be and what our roles are. Politics, of course, decides how the power and the money in the country is distributed. Both are equally important, and each affects the other.

Gloria Steinem

The Olympics is about letting people believe in their own dreams.

Kyle Shewfelt

Jazz to me is a living music. It’s a music that since its beginning has expressed the feelings, the dreams, hopes, of the people.

Dexter Gordon

I think us women need to appreciate ourselves, and I think we need to really go after our dreams. Us Latinas tend to sacrifice too much for our husbands, our families, and our kids. We sometimes give up on our dreams in order to help the ones we love. I think it’s important to feel accomplished and achieve the goals that we set for ourselves.

Sandra Echeverria

When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live.

Greg Anderson

My mother always gives the best advice. When I left Puerto Rico to pursue my dreams, she always supported me and said to me, ‘I’m never going to cut your wings, so don’t let anyone else do that to you.’ That has been my philosophy through life. I want to share that valuable lesson with my little girl someday.

Roselyn Sanchez

I’ve been blessed by doing classic plays on Broadway, which was one of my great dreams forever.

The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.

I’m very influenced by the circus. A lot of the dreams that I have, I’m in the circus.

Jeff Mangum

You have a responsibility to move your dreams forward, no matter what.

Amanda Lindhout

One of my dreams in life is to do fund-raising for the youth.

Picabo Street

I think I usually have quite ordinary dreams. Sometimes my dreams take me to other dimensions. I can travel in my mind especially when I’m dreaming I focus my mind on what I want to dream. If I want to fly, I focus on flying.

Uri Geller

I’d say people recognize me, but having children recognize me is the best. It is a very special thing. Suddenly you feel like you have the power to make the children’s dreams come true, and it’s better than anything else.

Ludivine Sagnier

Humanity needs dreams to be able to survive the miseries of daily existence, even if only for an instant.

Oscar Niemeyer

I have goals and aspirations, and I believe that you can go after your dreams, and it can work if you have someone there that’s supporting you.

Tia Mowry

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

William Butler Yeats

Youth is in a grand flush, like the hot days of ending summer; and pleasant dreams thrall your spirit, like the smoky atmosphere that bathes the landscape of an August day.

Donald G. Mitchell

I mean, every child at one stage dreams of being a prince or a princess.

Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark

I believe history will come to view 9/11 as an event on par with November 22, 1963, the date on which John F. Kennedy was murdered, cutting short a presidency that was growing ever more promising. Dreams died that day in Dallas; it is easy to imagine the 1960s turning out rather differently had President Kennedy lived.

I’m sorry – I know America is supposed to be the land of the dreams and hopes, but it’s like, when was that actually a real thing? I think from the very beginning it was all a lie, and it still kind of is. Stop trying to sell the picket fence, because there’s another backyard here that you haven’t looked at.

Sasha Lane

Revelations are conveyed in a variety of ways, including, for example, dreams, visions, conversations with heavenly messengers, and inspiration. Some revelations are received immediately and intensely; some are recognized gradually and subtly.

David A. Bednar

I don’t remember my dreams. I’m one of those weird people. I know there are tricks and things you can do, but I never remember my dreams.

Jayma Mays

The dirty little secret on Wall Street: Eighty percent of the Wall Street executives’ and their spouses’ donations go to Democrats. It’s like they’ve got some kind of little sweet deal, where we’ll call you fat cats and demean you and stuff, but you will get richer than your wildest dreams.

Louie Gohmert

We dream of having a clean house – but who dreams of actually doing the cleaning? We don’t have to dream about doing the work, because doing the work is always within our grasp; the dream, in this sense, is to attain the goal without the work.

Marcus Buckingham

I don’t think you should spend your life praying for things, but I do believe you should thank God for what He’s given you… but I think the scripture teaches us that we can pray for our dreams, pray for the big things… he’s not a small God; this God is incredible.

Joel Osteen

When I won in 2003, never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would win Wimbledon and have my kids seeing me lift the trophy, so this is pretty surreal. And yeah, I was almost shocked in the moment that it all came together so nicely.

Roger Federer

The only thing that comes to a sleeping man is dreams.

Tupac Shakur

I think I’m drawn to people who dream big, and both films have that. In ‘Street Fight, Cory Booker wants to become Mayor of Newark, and in ‘Racing Dreams,’ three kids want to become NASCAR drivers.

Marshall Curry

I don’t want to date. But I do have dreams about a great love.

Sophie B. Hawkins

Love is the most terrible, and also the most generous of the passions; it is the only one which includes in its dreams the happiness of someone else.

Alphonse Karr

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.

Thomas Jefferson

I would go to bed every night and have dreams about having a time machine and somehow I’d have the ability to move through time and space freely, and save Anne Frank.

Jeff Mangum

I want to keep my dreams, even bad ones, because without them, I might have nothing all night long.

Joseph Heller

What is life? A madness. What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a story. And the greatest good is little enough; for all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams.

Pedro Calderon de la Barca

I want to find someone who’s really into something like I’m really into something, so that I can support them and we can both cheer each other on. I’ve got a lot of dreams I want to achieve, and I hope someone can cheer me on as I’ll cheer them on in their dreams.

Hunter Hayes

I tell kids to pursue their basketball dreams, but I tell them to not let that be their only dream.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

We must not let our passions destroy our dreams.

Thomas S. Monson

I was very lucky in that my parents were very broad-minded. Because they had come from another country and hadn’t been able to fulfill their dreams, they wanted me to be more of myself, if you know what I mean.

Anne-Marie Duff

Married or unmarried, young or old, poet or worker, you are still a dreamer, and will one time know, and feel, that your life is but a dream.

Donald G. Mitchell

I was a great dreamer of day dreams.

Abraham Cahan

I always dreamed of being a voice in a Disney movie, and even in those dreams, I never once dreamed of being a princess. I just wanted to be a voice.

Anika Noni Rose

I always had dreams. I knew I wanted to have money to buy things at the flea market. That’s worked out well.

Debi Mazar

I’m following my dreams and doing what I love as a designer. I did not want to be one of those kids with a famous last name that doesn’t do anything. That is very unfulfilling to me and I’m very happy.

Nicky Hilton

The worst thing you can do to a kid is tell them that their dreams are invalid.

Juliette Lewis

Intellectual despair results in neither weakness nor dreams, but in violence. It is only a matter of knowing how to give vent to one’s rage; whether one only wants to wander like madmen around prisons, or whether one wants to overturn them.

Georges Bataille

Maybe the body learns from dreams. Maybe the muscles, the neutrons, revitalize.

Michael Zaslow

I’d like to be remembered as someone who made a difference in the lives of young people – that I nurtured someone and taught them to pursue their dreams and their careers, to leave a legacy.

Andre Leon Talley

It is the police of America who are on the front lines, who are on the streets, who are in the daily contact with American citizens, who translate the dreams of American citizens when they succeed and frustrate the dreams when they fail.

Janet Reno

Actually, I wanted to be a musician, either a guitarist or a drummer. I guess my dreams were in the entertainment industry, and I landed somewhere along there.

Israel Broussard

I hope I inspire people who hear. Hearing people have the ability to remove barriers that prevent deaf people from achieving their dreams.

Marlee Matlin

Even in the hardest circumstances, dreams can give you the courage to live, and I hope I can share that message with children in need.

Kim Yuna

It was one of my dreams as a child, growing up in my little village with my cousins. We used to walk together, and I used to say, when you look at the world map, ‘This town is there, that town is there, that river is there.’ I used to say, ‘One day, I’m going to travel these places.’

Jimmy Cliff

Let your dreams outgrow the shoes of your expectations.

Ryunosuke Satoro

One day it just hit me. This is it. You are not in love. So either stay in it because you have a child or be brave and find the man of your dreams and marry him for real.

Brandy Norwood

Swimming is a life-saving skill, so just the fact that the sport that I love can give so much back to other people – and inspire them to join something that they never thought they could do or go after their dreams – is something that is really special to me.

Simone Manuel

A lot of people do not muster the courage to live their dreams because they are afraid to die.

Les Brown

There are a lot of things that are personally uncomfortable to show, especially me without makeup and completely bloated or crying. But I’ve realized that it’s time for me to show my audience that you don’t have to be perfect to achieve your dreams. Because nobody relates to being perfect.

Katy Perry

I’m aware of the mystery around us, so I write about coincidences, premonitions, emotions, dreams, the power of nature, magic.

Isabel Allende

I’ve done two ‘Hamlets,’ two ‘Lears,’ three ‘Midsummer Night’s Dreams’ – I’ve done most of these plays more than once, and every time I direct them, I learn things.

Jack O’Brien

Here Fashion is a despot, and no one dreams of evading its dictates.

Marguerite Gardiner

I probably revisit in my work the moment at which I realised that dreams couldn’t be reality.

Alice Lowe

Looking back 25 years later, what I may say is that the facts have been far better than the dreams. In the long course of cell life on this earth it remained, for our age for our generation, to receive the full ownership of our inheritance.

Albert Claude

Believe in and follow your dreams.

Kristanna Loken

Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all the same in this notion: The potential for greatness lives within each of us.

Wilma Rudolph

No one may speak for the dead, no one may interpret their mutilated dreams and visions.

Elie Wiesel

I am not ridiculing verbal mechanisms, dreams, or repressions as origins of poetry; all three of them and more besides may have a great deal to do with it.

Allen Tate

The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.

Theodore Roosevelt

I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.

Khalil Gibran

There is no reason we should expect young children to enter the nocturnal darkness of sleep and dreams without help.

Siri Hustvedt

That I am today the face of Louis Vuitton almost seems like a twist of fate. You dream back to front, wanting the rewards before putting the work in. And then you work, get on with life, and just sometimes these childhood dreams have a way of catching up with you. This is a true privilege for which I am eternally grateful.

Xavier Dolan

With ‘Street Fight,’ it took an urban mayoral election and found lots of complexity in there. The same with ‘Racing Dreams.’ I wanted to show complexity within this world that most documentary people don’t know anything about.

Marshall Curry

God, that dumping ground of our dreams.

Jean Rostand

My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can’t take that away from me.

Derek Jeter

Whenever I start a ‘Potter’ film, I get these dreams. The last dream I had, I was in a war and the sky was blotted with broomsticks and I couldn’t find my wand. It was so intense. I always have mental, intense, war wizard dreams when I’m doing the films.

Natalia Tena

The path from dreams to success does exist. May you have the vision to find it, the courage to get on to it, and the perseverance to follow it.

Kalpana Chawla

My dream life is just to go back to my job full-time. And be with my family. You know, regular dreams, common dreams that everyone has.

Carla Bruni

I think everyone has dreams, and it’s just how you go about pursuing that. And I think anybody can do anything that they set their mind to. So if you set your mind to do something, and you exhaust every opportunity, I think you’re going to get there.

Josie Loren

High achievers spot rich opportunities swiftly, make big decisions quickly and move into action immediately. Follow these principles and you can make your dreams come true.

Robert H. Schuller

I only remember the end of my dreams, like waking up at a steering wheel, or falling.

Ben Barnes

It’s not my job to dream your dreams. It’s my job to make your dreams become a reality.

Blanche Lincoln

Dreaming or awake, we perceive only events that have meaning to us.

Jane Roberts

You know, the man of my dreams might walk round the corner tomorrow. I’m older and wiser and I think I’d make a great girlfriend. I live in the realm of romantic possibility.

Stevie Nicks

It is exactly because we are a city that embraces freedom, that welcomes everyone and encourages their dreams, that New York remains on the front lines in the war on terror.

Michael Bloomberg

Ask any parent what we want for our children, and invariably we say ‘a better life.’ To that end, we give our time, our sleep, our money, and our dreams, much as our parents did before us. We all want a better life for our children. But what we want for them ceases to matter if we leave them an unlivable world.

Leonor Varela

I don’t stand in anybody else’s way of accomplishing their dreams, and I don’t like people standing in my way, either. That seems like a hostile thing to do.

Jamey Johnson

We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep.

William Shakespeare

I was always a closet lover of acting. My mom was very practical. She never, ever restricted our dreams, always told us we could do or be anything. Then I said, ‘Maybe I want to be an actor’. And she said, ‘Maybe not that’.

Octavia Spencer

But what I was going to say was, I just figured I’m going to go boldly in the direction of my dreams, say it as Thoreau would say, and just see where it takes me.

Demetri Martin

In my dreams and visions, I seemed to see a line, and on the other side of that line were green fields, and lovely flowers, and beautiful white ladies, who stretched out their arms to me over the line, but I couldn’t reach them no-how. I always fell before I got to the line.

Harriet Tubman

Dreams do come true if you work hard and you get your head down.

Kyla Reid

My mother used to sit at the foot of my bed, and she would share her dreams with me.

Liz Murray

Israel desperately needs peace if it is to come anywhere close to being the ‘light unto nations’ of Jewish dreams.

Edgar Bronfman, Sr.

Honestly, I don’t remember the last time I had a dream. I don’t really sleep often enough to be able to have any dreams.

Rob Kardashian

You don’t get old until you replace dreams with regrets.

Troy Dumais

My mom is the most amazing woman ever. She grew up a single mom raising five kids, and she’s always told me to follow my dreams. One thing I’ve learned about her is she sacrificed her whole life for me to focus on my dream, and I cannot wait to do that for my kids.

RaeLynn

Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

Carl Jung

You gotta have a dream. If you don’t have a dream, how you gonna make a dream come true?

Oscar Hammerstein II

The permanent temptation of life is to confuse dreams with reality. The permanent defeat of life comes when dreams are surrendered to reality.

James A. Michener

If our dreams were more regular, more connected, more stable, they would also have more practical importance for us.

Ernst Mach

My dreams were at once more fantastic and agreeable than my writings.

Mary Shelley

We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality.

Judy Garland

Just really, really believe in what you’re trying to do. Don’t let people alter that. Let people advise you and lead you down paths to make smart business decisions. But trust your instinct and trust that overwhelming drive that made you put all your dreams and everything on the line.

Luke Bryan

My mother dreamed dreams for Joaquin and for me long before we could dream them for ourselves.

Julian Castro

A player dreams of being a superstar, but he doesn’t want people flocking all over him asking for an autograph.

Dennis Rodman

At the end of the day, life’s about realising one’s human potential. I don’t know if I’ve realised mine, but I’ve certainly gone a long way towards realising some goals and some dreams.

Linton Kwesi Johnson

I am definitely most proud of ‘American Dreams.’

Tom Verica

I’m not one of those actresses that’s going to feel like I never achieved my dreams and goals and just get disgruntled and hate everything about the business. I’ve had so much fun.

Ming-Na Wen

As I watched bookstores close, I began to wonder how that felt for the owners. Owning a bookstore was their dream and now they’re struggling and seeing those dreams fall apart.

Karen Kingsbury

I’ve had a life where things have worked out for me beyond my wildest dreams, and my brother’s had just the opposite.

Bill Paxton

The American Dream has run out of gas. The car has stopped. It no longer supplies the world with its images, its dreams, its fantasies. No more. It’s over. It supplies the world with its nightmares now: the Kennedy assassination, Watergate, Vietnam.

J. G. Ballard

This city can be kind of brutal, so you see your dreams from every different angle, but ultimately it’s about acting and if you enjoy acting, you will always enjoy acting.

Radha Mitchell

My professional dreams were coming true while I was living a personal nightmare.

Dane Cook

I envy people with dreams and passions, but I don’t think that way. I still don’t have a ‘bliss’ to follow. For people like me – I suspect that’s most people – holding out for a ‘dream’ or a ‘passion’ is paralyzing. I just like having work I enjoy that feels meaningful. That’s hard enough… but it’s enough.

Jane Pauley

The work of an advertising agency is warmly and immediately human. It deals with human needs, wants, dreams and hopes. Its ‘product’ cannot be turned out on an assembly line.

Leo Burnett

I love to fly. I always wanted to fly. It’s been one of my dreams since I was 3 years old. I remember saying to my mom, 3 years old, every day, ‘I can fly!’ Living on the ninth floor, it was dangerous.

Elena Anaya

Understand and accept the cycles of money. The setbacks you may have today or next year will not keep you from financial freedom. If you hold on to your goals and dreams, you will get there.

Suze Orman

I wanted to raise the voice of a lot of the people that I knew growing up, and this was, for the most part, poor people who had extraordinary dreams but also very amazing obstacles.

Edwidge Danticat

Short stories are tiny windows into other worlds and other minds and dreams. They are journeys you can make to the far side of the universe and still be back in time for dinner.

Neil Gaiman

My mother is my biggest role model, and she showed me how to do it right. She was very present in our lives and has a great career of her own. Same with my father. So I knew it was possible going in to stay closely connected to my children while also chasing big dreams. And it’s given me great perspective.

Kerri Walsh Jennings

Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.

Terry Pratchett

Ground not upon dreams; you know they are ever contrary.

Thomas Middleton

Films are dreams. Many, many critics say to me that my films are not good because they are too unbelievable, but this is my style. I tell stories like they are dreams. This is my imagination. For me, it would be impossible to do a film that is so precise, that resembles real life.

Dario Argento

Freud published The Interpretation of Dreams in 1900. It introduced the notion that there existed certain predictable and identifiable processes by which dreams were formed.

Henry Reed

Every book in the ‘Dreams’ cycle dramatizes a particular epoch in the ongoing cultural collision between North America’s native peoples and its European colonizers.

Tom Bissell

Everyone always wants to find the answer, to feel that things are resolved. But in dreams, maybe there isn’t an answer so much.

Gore Verbinski

For anyone who’s a fan of the ‘X-files’ show – I mean, I have the ultimate role. I got to deal with Mulder. I got to talk to him; I had a fight sequence with him. Really, for anyone who is a fan of the show, I think I fulfilled a lot of young boys’ dreams.

Rhys Darby

Prime Minister Sharon, Prime Minister Abbas, I urge you today to end the designs of those who seek destruction, annihilation and occupation, and I urge you to have the will and the courage to begin to realize our dreams of peace, prosperity and coexistence.

Abdullah II of Jordan

If you were to ask my agent, they would confirm this: I’m drawn to locations. What really drew me to ‘The 4400,’ aside from the fact that it was sci-fi, was the fact that it was shot in the city of my dreams: Vancouver.

Billy Campbell

I have my own production company called Urban Dreams.

Chaske Spencer

The armored cars of dreams, contrived to let us do so many a dangerous thing.

Elizabeth Bishop

I do write all the time about – you tell me what your dreams are. What are you chasing? It’s not impossible. Name it.

Diana Nyad

My parents were super supportive of my big dreams; I was pretty lucky. I guess I became a musician because I didn’t see myself doing or loving anything else as much.

Madi Diaz

A friend told me that teenage girls are always looking for someone to pin their dreams on. That doesn’t make it any less weird though.

Orlando Bloom

If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts.

Adam Duritz

Being as it was one of my dreams to sing with one of the world’s greatest groups, for me to join ‘The Temptations’ was a great blessing.

Ali-Ollie Woodson

Fiction seeks to represent human experience as it is lived and as it reverberates in our hopes, fears, dreams, and memories. So much of our lives are internal. The art of fiction has claimed – more than anything else – this internal ground as its own.

Varley O’Connor

It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream.

Benjamin E. Mays

If there is one place on the face of earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India.

Romain Rolland

All the things one has forgotten scream for help in dreams.

Elias Canetti

It is better to risk starving to death then surrender. If you give up on your dreams, what’s left?

Jim Carrey

We control the content of our dreams.

Thom Gunn

I dream a lot, in colour and in sound and scent. Quite a few of my stories have come from dreams.

Joanne Harris

Between the theme parks and the movies, the Disney iconography was probably the first set of archetypes that I was exposed to. Walt was able to expose me as a child to the full array of emotions, including fear and sorrow. Those movies and attractions haunted my dreams and made a deep impression on me as a child.

Jon Favreau

The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.

James Allen

I didn’t want to escape my life and become a big actress and live my dreams. That was never the way it was; it was just these amazing opportunities that happened.

Maisie Williams

I want to see the next Reagan. I want somebody who brings out the good in Americans and challenges us to aspire to that North Star, someone who wants to empower our families and individuals and communities and let them be free to achieve their dreams. That’s what’s going to make this country again.

Bill Flores

Happiness is making your dreams come true.

Jourdan Dunn

Oh, I was never a businessman. I was a visionary, a dreamer.

Jim Bakker

If a man dreams that he has committed a sin before which the sun hid his face, it is often safe to conjecture that, in sheer forgetfulness, he wore a red tie, or brown boots with evening dress.

Arthur Machen

Stay focused, go after your dreams and keep moving toward your goals.

LL Cool J

The English expression ‘to fall asleep’ is apt because the transition between waking and sleeping is a gradual drop from one state of being into another: a giving up of full self-consciousness for unconsciousness or for the altered consciousness of dreams.

Siri Hustvedt

Age Quotes: A nice collection of age quotes and sayings to share among other people, who are enjoying their youth ness or getting older as time passes away.

So we see Edward as a young man on the road and he meets a giant and he brings the giant to a circus where he meets a Miss Calloway. He sees the woman of his dreams and I am the only one who knows who she is.

Danny DeVito

Screenplays I didn’t really care about, journalism, travel books, getting my writer friends to write about their dreams or something. I just determined to write the books I had to write.

Kazuo Ishiguro

Any car designer always dreams about designing their own car – if they say they don’t, they’re lying… For me, it was never about starting my own company just to make another car.

Henrik Fisker

Our dreams are firsthand creations, rather than residues of waking life. We have the capacity for infinite creativity; at least while dreaming, we partake of the power of the Spirit, the infinite Godhead that creates the cosmos.

Jackie Gleason

The ninety and nine are with dreams, content but the hope of the world made new, is the hundredth man who is grimly bent on making those dreams come true.

Edgar Allan Poe

I think when you move past your fear and you go after your dreams wholeheartedly, you become free.

LL Cool J

You don’t ever want to go out there and not be the best. You want to be the best cop that you can. Be the best writer you can be. Everybody has their goals. Everybody has their dreams.

Bryce Harper

In the year since we brought things into the open with a clean breath of fresh air at City Hall, we have learned about corrupt spending practices and unethical conflicts of interest that waste your money… and keep Dallas from being the great city of our dreams.

Laura Miller

Men secretly respect a woman who is strong, has confidence and has dreams of her own. There’s nothing more attractive to a man than a woman who has dignity and pride in who she is.

Sherry Argov

I wanted to be a musician. I wanted to be a superstar. I wanted to be on stage. I wanted to perform. I wanted to be in movies. But as you grow up, those dreams kind of fade away, and you’re hit with reality, and you’re like, ‘Oh, not everyone can be Lil’ Bow Wow?’ Fine.

Lilly Singh

When I began to choreograph and find my way pulling other artists’ dreams out and changing music in a visual way, there was still a part of me that had something more to say. There was still a desire to rock a stage and ultimately perform the eight count of my dream, but there was a lot of insecurity there.

Laurieann Gibson

‘Shake It Up’ definitely teaches kids about the importance of reaching for your dreams and setting high goals. It also teaches great lessons about friendship and family.

Zendaya

Dreams are, by definition, cursed with short life spans.

Candice Bergen

To provoke dreams of terror in the slumber of prosperity has become the moral duty of literature.

Ernst Fischer

I like to surround myself with people that have dreams and that fight for them every day.

Emeraude Toubia

Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so you shall become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.

James Lane Allen

In my head, at least, the business of spinning stories has no closing time. Twists in my characters’ lives, glimpses of their secrets, obstacles to their dreams… all arrive unbidden when I’m getting cash at the ATM, walking my son to camp, singing a hymn at a wedding.

Julia Glass

Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.

Baltasar Gracian

Dreams are today’s answers to tomorrow’s questions.

Edgar Cayce

When a person starts to talk about their dreams, it’s as if something bubbles up from within. Their eyes brighten, their face glows, and you can feel the excitement in their words.

John C. Maxwell

If you have a dream, just lie about it. Lie your way unto your dreams.

Joel McHale

I’d gone to Wellesley College, an amazing women’s college where the students were encouraged to follow our dreams. However, after I graduated and had a historical romance published, more than a few people indicated that, in some way, my career choice was a ‘waste’ of so much education.

Lisa Kleypas

Everyone dreams, but not everybody remembers their dreams because some people go into delta; they go too low.

Sylvia Browne

I think there must be a place inside of us where dreams go and wait their turn.

Sue Monk Kidd

I have a notebook that is filled to the brim with my dreams and ideas and goals and aspirations.

Karlie Kloss

I worked on my voice for Sweet Dreams, but only to match my speaking voice to Patsy’s actual singing voice. That was my way into that character.

Jessica Lange

You have to keep going and pursue your dreams.

Joey King

I started with no money. I had to borrow money in the beginning. I’m always a dreamer. I dream and envision what to do, then my wife will help me realize those dreams. I always conceptualize.

Andrew Gotianun

Dreams do come true. If anyone’s proof of that, it’s me.

Jennifer Hudson

The United States and Russia probably do not have common aims and dreams, but they have common worries: Both Washington and Moscow are concerned about the rise of China and are threatened by the rise of radical Islam.

Ivan Krastev

Rude contact with facts chased my visions and dreams quickly away, and in their stead I beheld the horrors, the corruption, the evils and hypocrisy of society, and as I stood among them, a young wife, a great wail of agony went out from my soul.

Victoria Woodhull

Here’s what I see all across this great city – people working together to make Boston a better place to live and to raise children, to grow and pursue dreams.

Thomas Menino

I’ve never dreamed of a story idea. I have such boring dreams.

R. L. Stine

Never think you can’t do something. I definitely never thought I could write a book, and even after I started writing it, I was like, ‘Oh my God, how am I gonna write a book?’ Just set your sights high and reach for the stars. Go live your dreams, and never think you can’t.

Connor Franta

At drama school, we were taught to write down your dreams and carry them around in your wallet with you, and they’ll come true, but I didn’t do that.

Lily James

What better model of a synthesis than a nocturnal dream? Dreams simplify, don’t they?

Manuel Puig

The name Air Supply sort of came from nowhere. I get a lot of my things in dreams and I just had a dream about it one night, and I woke up and said that’s just got to be the name. That was in 1975.

Graham Russell

If you’re the type of person who has to fulfill your dreams, you’ve gotta be resourceful to make sure you can do it. I came out to California when I was 21, thinking my New York credentials would take me all the way. I came back home a year later all dejected and a failure.

Vin Diesel

Judge of your natural character by what you do in your dreams.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I like clever songs. I like songs that make people think and I try to have substance in all my records, even with ‘Sweet Dreams’ how it was a club record and it was up tempo, but it was melodic and it was, like, lyrical.

Rico Love

We must stop talking about the American dream and start listening to the dreams of Americans.

Max Beerbohm

People with disabilities have abilities too and that is what this course is all about – making sure those abilities blossom and shine so that all the dreams you have can come true.

Mary McAleese

Our dreams must be stronger than our memories. We must be pulled by our dreams, rater than pushed by our memories.

Jesse Jackson

You’ve got to have dreams to keep you going.

Steve Waugh

I didn’t learn much about writing at Sarah Lawrence, but I learned a lot about the sources of poems – dreams, myth, history – from the really great teachers, Joseph Campbell, Charles Trinkhaus, Bert Loewenberg, and a young Australian anthropologist named Harry Hawthorne.

Carolyn Kizer

People’s dreams are made out of what they do all day. The same way a dog that runs after rabbits will dream of rabbits. It’s what you do that makes your soul, not the other way around.

Barbara Kingsolver

Singing for a documentary that benefits the underprivileged remains one of my biggest dreams.

Arijit Singh

My killer crossover project would be to combine Bjork and Grace Jones with the West Coast rappers and create this massive music. That’s, like, one of my dreams.

Jason Moran

Actors, their greatest tool, their greatest resource is imagination. You can take things, power objects, you can recruit your dreams, you can access your memories and get there. So the idea is not to act but to just be.

Nicolas Cage

Of all our dreams today there is none more important – or so hard to realise – than that of peace in the world. May we never lose our faith in it or our resolve to do everything that can be done to convert it one day into reality.

Lester B. Pearson

Mother believed that I should have an enormous amount of sleep, and so I was never really tired when I went to bed. This was the best time of day, when I could lie in the vague twilight, drifting off to sleep, making up dreams inside my head the way they should go.

Sylvia Plath

The truth is, even those who think Dreams only happen to someone else carry a Dream hidden deep in their heart, just hoping it can come true.

Bruce Wilkinson

I have very vivid dreams, and often – this happens to me at least a few times a week – I don’t know if something happened in real life or in a dream. I’m like, ‘Mom, did this neighbor come over, or was it a dream?’ And she’s like, ‘No, what are you talking about?’

Eugenie Bouchard

If you want to have a life that is worth living, a life that expresses your deepest feelings and emotions and cares and dreams, you have to fight for it.

Alice Walker

I’m not really that girl who dreams about her wedding day.

Taylor Swift

The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else.

Umberto Eco

My children have stolen my dreams in a very literal sense. I’ve lost months in the minutes and hours that Sabine and Zoey have needed me at night, their thin, butterfly-beating hearts pushed against me in the darkness.

Alexi Zentner

My theory is that literature is essential to society in the way that dreams are essential to our lives. We can’t live without dreaming – as we can’t live without sleep. We are ‘conscious’ beings for only a limited period of time, then we sink back into sleep – the ‘unconscious.’ It is nourishing, in ways we can’t fully understand.

Joyce Carol Oates

Baseball always gets credit for the foundational part of masculinity – the father thing. The eternal game of backyard catch, ‘Field of Dreams’, the Ripkens, the Griffeys, the Bondses, so on. But football is the real paternal game, because it’s a conveyor belt of father figures, in the form of coaches.

J. R. Moehringer

I paint what cannot be photographed, that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive.

Man Ray

The song ‘What Goes Up’ was inspired as I was playing the piano and reminiscing about the Spaceship One launches I witnessed in the Mojave desert. It is an awesome thing to comprehend the magnitude of what a human being dreams and imagines can be realized.

Vanna Bonta

Stay true to yourself, yet always be open to learn. Work hard, and never give up on your dreams, even when nobody else believes they can come true but you. These are not cliches but real tools you need no matter what you do in life to stay focused on your path.

Phillip Sweet

As far as my dreams go, all I want to do is be a working actor, and I happily achieved that.

Lucas Grabeel

Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.

Gail Devers

I’ll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours.

Bob Dylan

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.

Zhuangzi

Every Iranian artist dreams of the black market. We don’t care about making money.

Shirin Neshat

I really started considering myself a writer when I was about seven or eight years old. I wrote stories from my dreams and kept them all in a notebook that I still have.

Jennine CapÃ³ Crucet

I was part of that group of kids growing up in the ’80s under the Reagan regime, what I used to call ‘living in the shadow of Dr. Manhattan,’ where we would have dreams all the time that New York City was being destroyed, and that that wall of light and destruction was rolling out and would just devour our neighborhood.

Junot Diaz

For me, I’m a filmmaker because, above all, I’m an explorer. It’s my way of exploring and investigating the problems, the questions, and the mysteries about what it means to be human that vex me most, that keep me up at night, and that, when I finally fall asleep, insinuate themselves into my dreams.

Joshua Oppenheimer

Good dreams don’t come cheap, you’ve got to pay for them and If you just dream when you’re asleep this is no way for them to come alive… to survive.

Harry Chapin

What’s interesting is with a lot of the work I do through my foundation, the ‘Manifest Your Destiny’ foundation, we really encourage people, and we attempt to empower, uplift and inspire people to live out their dreams, live out their destiny.

Hill Harper

She still talks to me now, only now she talks to me in my dreams. And I can’t wait to go to sleep tonight because we have a lot to talk about. I love you.

Jamie Foxx

I just want to be myself and go for my own dreams and goals.

Natalie du Toit

I still have dreams about CBGB’s. I still miss the place.

Henry Rollins

The old studios that mass-produced dreams are gone with the wind, just like the old downtown theaters that were the temples of the dreams.

Suzanne Fields

I was not looking for my dreams to interpret my life, but rather for my life to interpret my dreams.

Susan Sontag

But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

William Butler Yeats

I still marvel at how God turns dreams into reality.

Martha Reeves

I’m sure I have a process, but it mostly takes place in my dreams.

William H. Macy

I went to stand-up when my rock n’ roll dreams weren’t coming true. I knew it wasn’t going to happen when I was in a New Wave band in 1992 – at the height of grunge. Then I heard No Doubt’s ‘Spiderwebs’ and I said, ‘Well, we’re done.’ They did – and succeeded at – what we were trying to do.

Greg Behrendt

I really started dreaming… and broke out of my shyness when I got to Howard University. My first acting class was an Intro to Acting class with Professor Bay, who really broke me out of my shell, encouraged me to follow my dreams and make them a reality.

Lance Gross

Men don’t come up to you to just talk. We come up to you with a plan. We’re looking across the room at you, and we don’t care about your hopes and dreams. We don’t care about what your future holds. We saw something we wanted.

Steve Harvey

I think I am done with Wikipedia for the time being. But I have a secret hope. Someone recently proposed a Wikimorgue – a bin of broken dreams where all rejects could still be read, as long as they weren’t libelous or otherwise illegal.

Nicholson Baker

I’ve had several really tangible dreams about UFOs, and they’ve been amazing!

Martin Freeman

You can’t censor people’s dreams.

Robyn Hitchcock

If our dreams are sincere desires to achieve, not mere pipe-dreams, there is something deep within ourselves which comes out to meet them and helps to make them realities.

Orison Swett Marden

That disturbs people when they know they didn’t have the guts or integrity to stick to their dreams.

Sandra Bernhard

Corporate America was hurling offers at her. Thinking even bigger, wanting even more, she had dreams of starting a Martha Stewart magazine and starring in her own regularly scheduled Martha Stewart television show. Martha saw herself as Betty Crocker, Julia Child, Miss Manners, Emily Post, and Rupert Murdoch all rolled into one juicy pie.

Jerry Oppenheimer

If you want to achieve your dreams, you must follow them, and the best way to follow them is not to think about wanting to be very rich, but to think about doing something that you really want to do.

Jackie Collins

Buying an apartment in New York was beyond my wildest dreams. I had to scrape together every cent to buy it. And I’m so happy I did.

John Searles

A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.

Yoko Ono

I’ve always been comfortable thinking things through and doing it, more or less, my way. You can be as creative as you want, but if you’re… unwilling to work on the details, to see those put into action, then creativity is just dreams, or worse, hallucinations.

Aubrey McClendon

My father, his spirit is with me constantly, and I’m a believer in that world and the world of dreams and that stuff.

Ziggy Marley

My office is at Yankee stadium. Yes, dreams do come true.

Derek Jeter

It’s a fine line of doing what’s good for your life and what your parents want you to do, but also following your dreams. With my parents, when I was younger, I always had to do two things. If I was acting, I always had to do a sport or something on the arts side of things along with that.

Kaley Cuoco

You can’t just constantly judge a situation or a person because of what you’re used to or how they look. They might turn out to be this sweet man who asks you what your dreams are. You know?

Sasha Lane

It is extremely rewarding for me to be recognised by the University of Aberdeen. This is where I grew up and nurtured my dreams.

Brian Binnie

When I first left Iran at the age of 13, Iran had become such a shining star – it was the point to which all my desires and dreams returned.

Azar Nafisi

When I was a kid, I wanted to be serious, like Daniel Day-Lewis. No one really dreams of being a comic actor, do they? Now I realise how stupid that is – and it’s because comic acting isn’t taken seriously enough. It’s a discipline. You know instantly – either you’re funny and getting the laughs, or you’re not.

Chris O’Dowd

The Brown decision promised that every child, regardless of the color of his or her skin, would have unequivocal access to quality education and an equal opportunity to pursue his/her dreams.

Ed Markey

We’re not teaching our students the importance of relationships with other people: how you work with them, what the relational pathology consists of, how you examine your own conscience, how you examine the inner world, how you examine your dreams.

Irvin D. Yalom

When all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed.

Marilyn Manson

People are learning to feel more comfortable hearing one another’s dreams. It used to be that if you told a dream in public, someone had to make a joke to relieve the tension introduced by that alternative reality.

Henry Reed

I didn’t want to be an actress. It wasn’t a dream. I didn’t have any dreams at all.

Sandrine Bonnaire

I part of this great nation because my grandfather was born here, in Cincinnati, Ohio. He took a horse, back in 1895, and ride it all the way down to Guanajuato, looking for his American dream. No penny in his pocket, only dreams in his head. And he was an immigrant coming from the States into Mexico. And he found his American dream in Mexico.

I’d say it’s been my biggest problem all my life… it’s money. It takes a lot of money to make these dreams come true.

Walt Disney

As a child our dreams got scattered all about and all our future prospects got scattered to so many places, and we spend our lives trying to find the little pieces that make up our lives and make up the dreams that we had as a child that got blown away in the windstorm.

Terrence Howard

There are women succeeding beyond their wildest dreams because of their sobriety.

Mary Karr

My dreams are all follies.

Taylor Caldwell

Fogs are like dreams that feed the soul, and without their mysterious embrace, childhood, courtship, poetry and the composition of music become all the more difficult.

Michael Leunig

To be here today is just beyond my wildest dreams.

Rick Yune

Learn from your dreams what you lack.

W. H. Auden

I knew I wanted to do something creative. I didn’t think I’d have the luxury of doing something like that, because I didn’t know anyone who had pursued anything they really adored, but I had dreams for singing or writing.

Lana Del Rey

I would have dreams all the time about me playing in the NFL. Every day I woke up, I said to myself, you know, I’m going to work hard, you know, this day to get to that next level.

Michael Oher

Usually, I work every day, seven days a week. When I go three days without writing, my body aches with anxiety; my mood is irritable. My night dreams grow wild with unconscious invention.

Pete Hamill

I have actual dreams of Bruce Springsteen calling me up on stage to wear a bandanna and play rhythm guitar next to Little Steven.

Tom Perrotta

It’s not called the Theatre of Dreams for nothing.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Since becoming mayor in 2009, Julian has worked tirelessly to pursue policies that honor the aspirations of the people he represents. I’m proud that my brother has achieved his dreams, but I’m even more proud of the work he’s done to help others achieve theirs.

Joaquin Castro

I have very specific advice for aspiring writers: go to New York. And if you can’t go to New York, go to the place that represents New York to you, where the standards for writing are high, there are other people who share your dreams, and where you can talk, talk, talk about your interests.

Walter Kirn

And our dreams are who we are.

Barbara Sher

People think that dreams are better than reality but this is not always the case; sometimes, because you dream too much, you are unable to see what you have in front of your very eyes.

Antonio Munoz Molina

It doesn’t happen every day, but many nights my dreams are like a movie. I don’t see normal movement – I see things in very complicated shots. That’s why I do remember many of them.

Penelope Cruz

You sail into the harbor, and Staten Island is on your left, and then you see the Statue of Liberty. This is what everyone in the world has dreams of when they think about New York. And I thought, ‘My God, I’m in Heaven. I’ll be dancing down Fifth Avenue like Fred Astaire with Ginger Rogers.’

Frank McCourt

For me they are no different, reality and dreams.

Alejandro Jodorowsky

I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams.

Madonna Ciccone

Anyone who has spent any time in space will love it for the rest of their lives. I achieved my childhood dream of the sky.

Valentina Tereshkova

You have many years ahead of you to create the dreams that we can’t even imagine dreaming. You have done more for the collective unconscious of this planet than you will ever know.

Steven Spielberg

America is not just a democracy, it represents a certain culture of competitive mobility and personality aspirations, politics is not merely a clash of interests, but a clash of dreams.

David Brooks

Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.

James Dean

To see your friend’s dreams come true, there’s really nothing that can make you happier.

Josh Hopkins

Dreams have as much influence as actions.

Stephane Mallarme

For most of us, when our ‘dreams’ – I use the word with reservations – came true, and marriage and motherhood became a reality, the romcoms, like horoscopes, swiftly lost their allure.

Mariella Frostrup

I think a lot of my dreams have come true, and my next dream is to have a No. 1 selling album. A Grammy-award-winning album.

Tessanne Chin

I think that they way my parents raised me, they taught me to always follow my dreams and never give up, no matter what the obstacle.

Katie Stevens

‘The Company You Keep’ is about outgrowing not just the delusions that accompany youth but the harsh certainties driving our lives and then trapping them before the years outpace the velocity of our dreams.

Steve Erickson

We grew up founding our dreams on the infinite promise of American advertising. I still believe that one can learn to play the piano by mail and that mud will give you a perfect complexion.

Zelda Fitzgerald

Dreams are often most profound when they seem the most crazy.

Sigmund Freud

I had lived all of my youthful dreams, but I couldn’t think of many adult ones. I finally realized that we don’t have many dreams for adults because, historically, people have always died much younger than they do today.

Jack Gilbert

When younger writers and poets, musicians and painters are weakened by a stemming of funds, they come to me saddened, not as full of dreams and excitement and ideas. I am then weakened and diminished, and made less rich.

Maya Angelou

As a viewer, I’m personally less interested in the damaged, white, middle-class male figuring out his dreams and more interested in maybe an underdog figuring out how they’re going to survive in a world that doesn’t necessarily invite them in.

Mackenzie Davis

I’ve sort of become the poster boy for quitting your job and following your dreams.

John Tesh

When I started writing, I was a great rationalist and believed I was absolutely in control. But the older one gets, the more confused, and for an artist I think that is quite a good thing: you allow in more of your instinctual self; your dreams, fantasies and memories. It’s richer, in a way.

John Banville

Within our dreams and aspirations we find our opportunities.

Sugar Ray Leonard

Dreams can still come true; you need a great deal of energy and determination, and a little bit of luck.

Stefano Gabbana

I must refine my training every day to give myself the best opportunity to achieve my dreams during the Olympic Games in Rio.

Ashton Eaton

Generally, I like to write in the morning before all the dust of dreams has blown away. Beforehand, I read two papers, cook my breakfast and then settle down in front of the word processor, usually by 8 A.M. I’ll write, and then check e-mail or voicemail when things stall.

Scott Turow

I worked at the golf course, and I always had dreams and aspirations of being a professional golfer.

Graham DeLaet

My own dreams fortunately came true in this great state. I became Mr. Universe; I became a successful businessman. And even though some people say I still speak with a slight accent, I have reached the top of the acting profession.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Business and growing jobs is about taking risk, sometimes failing, sometimes succeeding, but always striving. It is about dreams. Usually, it doesn’t work out exactly as you might have imagined. Steve Jobs was fired at Apple. He came back and changed the world.

Mitt Romney

When people ask me where I get my ideas, I lie. I tell them I draw inspiration from the news, the world, my dreams. Or I joke and say that I steal from other writers. I lie because I don’t know where ideas come from, and I’m afraid if I look too hard, they’ll stop coming.

Marcus Sakey

If I thought that any of this was pre ordained, then it takes away any kind of incentive to struggle, or to put up with things, to reach for those impossible dreams, all those dramatic things.

Gary Numan

The Oval Office symbolizes… the Constitution, the hopes and dreams, and I’m going to say democracy. And when you have a dress code in the Supreme Court and a dress code on the floor of the Senate, floor of the House, I think it’s appropriate to have an expectation that there will be a dress code that respects the office of the President.

Andrew Card

Perhaps, all writers walk such a line. In general – as we all do in our dreams – I believe I put something of myself into all the characters in my novels, male as well as female.

Rose Tremain

When I am president, I will work to ensure that all of our kids are treated equally and protected equally. Every action I take, I will ask myself, ‘Does this make life better for young Americans in Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Ferguson, who have as much of a right to live out their dreams as any other child America?’

Donald Trump

My father is a very successful man in the corporate world, and I am his only son. He had certain dreams for me. I was scared to tell him that I wanted to be an actor.

Ram Kapoor

Having achieved my own dreams, I want to give to kids who are less fortunate, who struggle with everyday obstacles. I want to give them something positive in their lives: support.

Kristi Yamaguchi

I know how men in exile feed on dreams.

Aeschylus

No, I never had any dreams. The process of art is a dream in itself. The artist just doesn’t… you work out something. It’s yours. You don’t have to go to sleep to do that. You do that on the canvas.

LeRoy Neiman

One of my dreams has always been to be in a Broadway musical.

Jaime Camil

We should never discourage young people from dreaming dreams.

Lenny Wilkens

I do comedy at a lot of colleges, and at the end of those shows, I take time to be a little more real with audiences. I try to inspire them to follow their dreams. When I was that age, it was incredible to hear stuff like that.

Fortune Feimster

At first, dreams seem impossible, then improbable, and eventually inevitable.

Christopher Reeve

Our dreams drench us in sense, and sense steeps us again in dreams.

Amos Bronson Alcott

One of the dreams of Zionism was to be a bridge. Instead, we are creating exclusion between the East and the West instead of creating bridges; we are contributing to the conflict between East and West by our stupid desire to have more.

A. B. Yehoshua

That’s where the theatre of dreams is, over in L.A.; it’s the land of opportunity for actors, and to go over there with a good team behind you and have a part you want to audition for really makes it a joy.

Luke Pasqualino

As an older generation, we need to give all our young people love and the possibility of realizing their dreams. For instance, if I get really political, the fact that some people can’t go to college, can’t even think about college, that’s not American; that’s not right.

Kenny Leon

My dreams and aspirations when I was a child for as long as I can remember was to be an entertainer.

Brittany Murphy

I’m a dreamer. I have to dream and reach for the stars, and if I miss a star then I grab a handful of clouds.

Mike Tyson

New Year’s Day. A fresh start. A new chapter in life waiting to be written. New questions to be asked, embraced, and loved. Answers to be discovered and then lived in this transformative year of delight and self-discovery. Today carve out a quiet interlude for yourself in which to dream, pen in hand. Only dreams give birth to change.

Sarah Ban Breathnach

Dreams are a scientific fact.

Robyn Hitchcock

New York is the place that made my and other artists’ dreams come true by giving us a chance to realise our ideas and concepts. It was a great place for making a presentation of artistic creation.

Yayoi Kusama

Big dreams create the magic that stir men’s souls to greatness.

Bill McCartney

I have been interested in dreams, really since I was a kid. I have always been fascinated by the idea that your mind, when you are asleep, can create a world in a dream and you are perceiving it as though it really existed.

Christopher Nolan

Like the phoenix, socialism is reborn from every pile of ashes left day in, day out, by burnt-out human dreams and charred hopes.

Zygmunt Bauman

I understand it’s my role to realize people’s dreams.

Ayumi Hamasaki

So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

Walt Disney

Don’t give up on your dreams, or your dreams will give up on you.

John Wooden

It’s great to see our players get some of their dreams come true.

Nick Saban

Mr. Miyazaki’s specialty is taking a primal wish of kids, transporting them to a fantasyland, and then marooning them there. No one else conjures the phantasmagoric and shifting morality of dreams – that fascinating and frightening aspect of having something that seems to represent good become evil – in the way this master Japanese animator does.

Elvis Mitchell

My dreams kind of came through when I went to see the cinema.

Debbie Reynolds

All art is exorcism. I paint dreams and visions too; the dreams and visions of my time. Painting is the effort to produce order; order in yourself. There is much chaos in me, much chaos in our time.

Otto Dix

I used to work at a movie theater and sold hams at Honey Baked Ham during the holidays. I sold a ton of hams, and they offered me a regular job there, which I turned down. I feel like anything you do, just do it 100% because then that work ethic will bleed through when it’s time to work on your dreams.

Tika Sumpter

My career was full of struggles and dreams, disappointments and peaks and valleys. But there was no Twitter, no Facebook or TMZ. Young actors could make mistakes and not become the focus of tabloids.

It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.

Erma Bombeck

I have marvelous dreams! I meet Buddha, I meet Jesus, I meet Mohammed. I constantly dream of space, stars and planets: we are the children of stardust.

Brian Blessed

I was very inspired by Les Blank’s film ‘Burden of Dreams.’ I think what’s unique about his film and the two I’ve made is that they’re close examinations of filmmakers and how their own emotional experiences reflect in the material they’re rendering, and vice versa – how that material sometimes colors their own lives.

George Hickenlooper

Real shapes and real patterns are things you would observe in nature, like the marks on the back of a cobra’s hood or the markings on a fish or a lizard. Imaginary shapes are just that, symbols that come to a person in dreams or reveries and are charged with meaning.

Jim Woodring

I was watching ‘Deal or No Deal’ on YouTube recently, and I bawled when the contestant won Â£250,000. I think I just like watching people achieve their dreams.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

When I came to America, I dreamed bigger dreams.

Frank McCourt

Take what you can from your dreams, make them as real as anything.

Dave Matthews

I was in school to play basketball; I wasn’t trying to be a doctor. It’s hard to talk about the NCAA rules and everything that happened in the past because I’ve just been focused on practicing and getting ready… I was trying to reach my dreams, and that’s to play in the NBA.

Ben Simmons

Boys from my generation all love Jim Carrey! But you know, just being in his house with him and pitching jokes that he would act out, literally felt like the dreams that I had, so it was amazing.

John Francis Daley

I don’t have dreams. How can I say it? I myself am a dream.

Ayumi Hamasaki

If you’re too scared to put your dreams, thoughts, desires, fantasies on paper and share them with the world, then being an author isn’t the right career for you.

P. C. Cast

I saw my aunties and my mum give up a part of themselves and their dreams to have kids. There were things they wanted to achieve in life, but they had kids instead.

Cheryl Crawford

Look at a football field. It looks like a big movie screen. This is theatre. Football combines the strategy of chess. It’s part ballet. It’s part battleground, part playground.

Steve Sabol

The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

A lot of America is kind of done. People have been making films about it for 100 years. Everything to me feels used up. But Jo-Burg feels unbelievably inspirational to me.

Noel Gallagher

The best form of flattery is to be admired, imitated or respected. I’ve always felt proud our fans look up to us or feel we are inspirational.

Joe Klein

Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.

Michelangelo

What’s on my playlist when I’m fighting is not so much hip-hop. Sometimes, it’s something more inspirational. I get a chance to think about what I’m fighting for, like, my family. It takes me to that state because a lot of times, it’s a spiritual warfare for me.

Tyron Woodley

Silence is the last thing the world will ever hear from me.

‘Get along, go along’ is not an inspirational philosophy, and only God knows how much moral cowardice it has covered up over the years. Serve your time, collect your chits, and cash ’em in for your home state? No, I’d say we could ask for more than that from our senators.

Light tomorrow with today!

Henry Ward Beecher

Give light, and the darkness will disappear of itself.

Pablo Neruda

I try not to put anything political on the forefront of what I’m trying to do creatively. At the same time, I do think it’s wonderful when I hear people say that it’s inspirational that I’m an Indian woman on camera. My life is very diverse, and my friends are a diverse group of people.

We all obviously need others to look up to, and be inspirational to us. Ford did a great job as far as putting the presidency back where it belonged, getting the trust back after Nixon. And President Reagan has been one of the most influential presidents.

Steve Garvey

I believe in the city as a natural human environment, but we must humanize it. It’s art that will re-define public space in the 21st Century. We can make our cities diverse, inspirational places by putting art, dance and performance in all its forms into the matrix of street life.

Antony Gormley

Who would have thought that a tap-dancing penguin would outpoint James Bond at the box office? And deserve to? Not that there’s anything wrong with ‘Casino Royale.’ But ‘Happy Feet’ – written and directed by George Miller – is a complete charmer, even if, in the way of most family fare, it can’t resist straying into the Inspirational.

Robert Gottlieb

Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Francis of Assisi

We are here to make another world.

W. Edwards Deming

If someone says ‘grunge’ or ‘punk,’ you know what the sound is, but if you say ‘No Wave,’ it’s kind of mysterious. That was the most interesting part and should have been the most inspirational thing about it… here’s this collective sonic insanity, and none of it sounds anything alike.

Lydia Lunch

Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.

Henry David Thoreau

I used to make up stuff in my bio all the time, that I used to be a professional ice-skater and stuff like that. I found it so inspirational. Why not make myself cooler than I am?

Stephen Colbert

I look up to a strong woman; maybe that’s why I fell for Gaga. She works incredibly hard and is very strong and inspirational like Mom, with a great work ethic.

Carter Burwell

The glow of one warm thought is to me worth more than money.

Thomas Jefferson

I’ve been known to write 10 pages a day for 10 days running before I take a breath. I am not a disciplined writer. I’m one of those people who laughingly call themselves inspirational writers, which basically means someone who has no control over their own creative process.

Catherine Ryan Hyde

I had hoped when my life was chronicled, it would be an inspirational story.

Om Puri

Keep your feet on the ground, but let your heart soar as high as it will. Refuse to be average or to surrender to the chill of your spiritual environment.

Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

Every song you’re trying to find something that going to connect in different ways but for me the songs that I’m really drawn to are inspirational, songs that lift you and that everybody can relate to no matter where you’re from.

Rodney Atkins

Nurture your minds with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes.

Benjamin Disraeli

‘Do What You Gotta Do’ is a positive, inspirational song that says no matter what it is; whether you’re up against challenges or trying to get your dreams and aspirations met, you should do what whatever you have to do shy of killing yourself or someone else.

Angie Stone

When I was working at the Sprint store, I got laid off. I was bummed out, but I stayed positive. I used the money I had earned while working there to make my first album. Without that job, maybe ‘Corazon Sin Cara’ would never had been made. It’s a very inspirational story.

Prince Royce

I said to the almond tree, ‘Friend, speak to me of God,’ and the almond tree blossomed.

Tony Robbins

I am very conscious of who I am as an artist and as an inspirational person.

Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, Or what’s a heaven for?

I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

Jimmy Dean

Hope is but the dream of those who wake.

Matthew Prior

In sports teams, apart from talk of sporting prowess and the imparting of inspirational thought, an extraordinary amount of time is spent discussing, and flaunting, material possessions.

Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.

I believe in living today. Not in yesterday, nor in tomorrow.

Loretta Young

Tina Brown

Prayer is man’s greatest power!

W. Clement Stone

I pull a lot of the stuff that I play off the rhythm tracks – and Keith Richards has been one of the main contributors to my inspirational playing.

Bobby Keys

Noble deeds that are concealed are most esteemed.

Blaise Pascal

Our time here is magic! It’s the only space you have to realize whatever it is that is beautiful, whatever is true, whatever is great, whatever is potential, whatever is rare, whatever is unique, in. It’s the only space.

William Bartram

Reach for the stars.

Christa McAuliffe

Better to be called something positive and inspirational than something negative.

Donnie Yen

I think ‘Heroes of Cosplay’ will show a lot of the positive things, like how much effort it takes to make a costume. These people on the show aren’t taking shortcuts. As long as that effort gets through to the viewers, we will be inspirational. Then there will be people who watch the show that want to get in and hands-on make outfits.

Yaya Han

We convince by our presence.

Walt Whitman

The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself.

Wallace Stevens

Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.

Silent pictures show us how we lived and what our attitudes were. And as an art form, they can be wonderfully entertaining and often inspirational.

Muhammad Iqbal

Mankind is made great or little by its own will.

Friedrich Schiller

It is always the simple that produces the marvelous.

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

Rabindranath Tagore

Personally, I can’t see the appeal in trekking down to D.C. for a networking extravaganza, even if it is built around a special moment in American history. While I find the election of Barack Obama inspirational, I don’t have a desire to memorialize it with overly effusive celebration.

Jamie Johnson

I grew up in a bookless house – my parents didn’t read poetry, so if I hadn’t had the chance to experience it at school I’d never have experienced it. But I loved English, and I was very lucky in that I had inspirational English teachers, Miss Scriven and Mr. Walker, and they liked us to learn poems by heart, which I found I loved doing.

Carol Ann Duffy

We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.

Ronald Reagan

So I wanted to sing inspirational music, and that’s exactly how I approached it – only the words have been changed to declare my relationship with God.

Smokey Robinson

Your big opportunity may be right where you are now.

Napoleon Hill

Brand is not a product, that’s for sure; it’s not one item. It’s an idea, it’s a theory, it’s a meaning, it’s how you carry yourself. It’s aspirational, it’s inspirational.

My goal in my career is to inspire people, is to get my music out there and have people enjoy it, and have people think of me as an inspirational artist.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

I celebrate myself, and sing myself.

Hosea Ballou

My tastes and inspirational artists were always rather eclectic and diverse.

A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.

James Allen

I’m very fond of the British cinema. I’m a big fan of Martin Campbell and Daniel Craig. I actually find Daniel very inspirational, especially on the physical side of things. He really inspired me to get back into shape when I started to add on a few pounds. I think he’s a great role model.

Steven Bauer

In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

At the end of the day, the one commonality that both Hindi cinema and Hollywood share is that they are full of talented and inspirational people. Outside of this, there are many differences, from the scheduling and rehearsal to promotion and directing techniques.

Nargis Fakhri

Inside, I’ve got a real purist desire and dream about the music. I like the idea of being able to carve out a kind of magical, colourful, artistic, inspirational life. And the reality just turns out to be quite different, working with the business to bring this thing you have created into the world.

Damien Rice

A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don’t know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox’s or bear’s, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.

Meister Eckhart

Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.

Andre Gide

I am so fresh in soul and spirit that life gushes and bubbles around me in a thousand springs.

Georgia O’Keeffe

My father, Oliver Hynes, was an educator. He was originally just a teacher, a very good one, but then he was promoted to be in charge of education for the entire area. He was always an inspirational teacher. He was my big personal supporter, always coming here for the Tony Awards. My mother, Carmel, was a homemaker.

Garry Hynes

President Obama called for a ‘we’ nation in his Inauguration Address. Art convenes. It is not just inspirational. It is aspirational. It pricks the walls of our compartmentalized minds, opens our hearts and makes us brave. And that’s what we need most in our country today.

Anna Deavere Smith

The leaders who we admire who have been able to bring great change in the past – Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela – they’re all inspirational religious leaders and smart tacticians. It would be nice to find the Muslim Gandhi, wouldn’t it?

Dennis C. Blair

This CD became something of a personal journey for me. The tone of the whole CD is uplifting and inspirational. It’s an upper. We have enough downers in the world.

Roma Downey

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

John F. Kennedy

If there were no night, we would not appreciate the day, nor could we see the stars and the vastness of the heavens. We must partake of the bitter with the sweet. There is a divine purpose in the adversities we encounter every day. They prepare, they purge, they purify, and thus they bless.

James E. Faust

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

Max Weinberg

Since we launched the original ‘Pop Idol’ in England, I’ve remained close with Simon Fuller. Working as executive producer on ‘American idol’ for its first seven years not only was an inspirational journey into the heart of American pop culture, it opened my eyes to the untapped potential of the incredibly dynamic young people in this world.

Nigel Lythgoe

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

Buddha

Gabby Douglas

Every man’s life is a fairy tale written by God’s fingers.

Hans Christian Andersen

I am never without my lyric book. If anything inspirational happens, I have it there so nothing’s forgotten.

Gabrielle Aplin

I really think that it’s disgusting that Paris is the only place where it is illegal for paps to follow you around. It actually took someone losing their life – Diana, an inspirational woman – and then it changed, but they still won’t change it in London! It’s horrible!

Cara Delevingne

We sing inspirational songs, songs of praise and worship, and about how good and how big God is. We are magnifying the Lord.
